Currently when you forget to delete a branch on merge, it is quite hard to get rid of it later.

We have written a tool that automatically deletes branches, based on the status of the Jira ticket, if there are no commits on the branch, which helps a lot. But there are some cases, where there are commits and an automatic approach can not determine if the changes are needed or not necessary any more.

We update the Jira Ticket in thoses cases, to notify the developer to take some actions. Unfortunately if the dev wants to delete it, he needs to go to the Bitbucket project, click on branch and then enter the branch name to search for it:

https://<mybitbucketserver>/projects/<project>/repos/<something>/branches

 

Would be really cool to have the possibility to add a deep link that will prefill the filter textfield:

https://<mybitbucketserver>/projects/<project>/repos/<something>/branches?searchQuery=<thebranchiwanttodelete>
