Hi,
first of all thanks for your work on improving the translation tool.
From this I identify two issues:
1. the branch name is not unique, because the numbering could
restart by unknown reason.
2. old branches are littering in the repository
Here I experience that my git knowledge is not enough. My ideas so far:
Issue 1. could be improved by:
- other numbering approach (issue to solve in the tool)
- always pull before push (could this create conflicts?)
- check if branch exists before creating new branch?
Simplest solution is probably using a different naming scheme. Eg. use
the MD5 of the current time or something similar.
Pulling is most probably not a good idea.
Force pushing might work though (it would overwrite the previous branch)
Issue 2. could be improved by:
- automatically remove merged or closed branches. (so only open pull
requests should remain)
Actually, the branch could be removed right after creating the pull
request. Github creates a new (hidden) branch in the upstream
repository when creating the pull request to avoid loss of the data
when the original branch or repo is deleted.
Questions:
A. Do you know how to delete old branches, without deleting not
merged or not closed branches from our git repository?
I think github's API tells you what branches are merged. But not if
the pull request associated with it was closed.
