We created a test group with a single repository inside, created a fork of this repository in a different group, with a number of files, pull requests and comments. Outcome:
/group1/repo-original
/group2/repo-fork
We attempted to delete the original repository (repository settings > advance > delete repository), with detach fork option enabled, at this point, we received an error message:
“Cannot delete repo-original
it still contains 1 attached pull requests. Consider archiving the repository instead.”
Please note that the pull request was closed before attempting to delete.
After doing what the message says, we archived the repository. However, when attempting to delete the group1 we receive this message:
“This repository group contains 1 repositories and cannot be deleted.”
How do you actually delete a repository?
