      Git Flow has the ability to automatically delete the remote branch (along with the local branch) of a feature/hotfix/etc after finishing using the -F option. The -F option fetches the remote branch before it deletes it remotely so you don't lose any work.
      git flow feature finish -F branch_name

      It would be nice to have the same function available from within SourceTree.

            Why no earth is this still a problem.  Can someone fix this so that when the feature is finished and pushed, the remote is deleted as well?  We don't have this problem in Mercurial land.

            please finally do something about this. either add a checkbox or simple force it on users but do something.

            unbelievable that this has not been touched in 3 (THREE) years even though the solution was presented in the issue description.

            It remains an active issue since it hasn't been resolved in recent releases. I have removed the "affected versions" field but am unable to re-open it myself.

            Hi

            This issue affects a version we no longer support. To avoid any ambiguity we feel it is better to explicitly close it rather than leave it un-resolved. However, if you feel the issue is still relevant then please do re-open this issue and update the "Affects Versions" field.

            Thank you for using SourceTree.

            I too came across this issue. I found this fork of git-flow called the avh edition(https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow) fixes this behaviour among other improvements. Its actively maintained unlike the original. There are feature requests to integrate the avh version to sourcetree. Please vote for them. (Windows - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREEWIN-1394, Mac - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/SRCTREE-1762)
