Exclude branches in Git Actions

[kosiakMD]

Big thanks for the solution. I have a question - how to add excluded branches in Git Actions .yml file?
Is this right?

     env:
         exclude: [development]
         GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Hi @kosiakMD, that work with the same way as when you'd use the app. Meaning it'll look for a config file (`.github/delete-merged-branch-config.yml) in your repository which contains a list of repositories it should ignore. Eg.

exclude: 
  - foor
  - qa
  - feature-*

I do agree it would make sense to add an input to the action where you list branches it should ignore. Feel free to open a PR for that.

Hi guys, I have this in my project but I'm not getting it to ignore those branches that I indicate, in the same way it eliminates them. Do you know what could be my mistake?

This is the result in the logs actions
