When is it considered a good time to delete your local / remote feature branches?
I now have several branches that have all been merged into the master branch:
I have yet to create a tag and officially release this edition.
So when is the best time to remove your merged branches? I noticed in TortoiseGit that when you merge the branch there is a check box for Delete Branch.
Thanks for your advice.
