Deleting merged branches in GitLab periodically?

Question

I've searched some documentation but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Does GitLab provide a feature which allows deleting all branches which have been merged recently? Either as a feature of GitLab itself or by using a third-party plugin or similar?

Answer 1

Gitlab exposes API resource to delete all non-protected branches merged into the project’s default branch (master per default).

To delete them periodically in gitlab, you can create a pipeline in a .gitlab-ci.yml and schedule it at the frequency you want.
