My Branches for Bitbucket

I second the previous review.... We had a small issue that looked big but turned out to be a configuration problem on our side. Add-on does indeed work as described, and Johannes' support was exceptional. Response was within hours with multiple follow-ups, and the most thorough/helpful I've seen in a long time (particularly for a free add-on). Nice work Johannes -- keep it up!

Great plugin, works as expected and the support was also great. After raising an issue on the same day we got the fix. Thanks Johannes :-)

Clearly a very helpful plugin to allow everyone to find and remove forgotten branches, especially when working with lots of repositories. A few minor improvements would be nice: 1. A (admin-configurable) filter to ignore merge commits when checking for "my branches" would be great, as right now short branches created by other users are reported, just because the last few commits contain a merge commit to master created just before they created their new feature branch from master. 2. Enabling the users to filter the result list again (by branch name etc.) could be helpful to hide known permanent false-positives or personal branches that need to be kept open, to lower the number of branches to check on a regular basis. 3. The plugin seems to be unable to detect the merge status for merges into other repositories (from forks).

  Hi Ronny, thanks!

  Re 1: See my new issue #14 Admin-config to exclude merge-commits. Please leave a comment if the RC1 fits to your needs.

  Re 2: User-configs means significant effort. Unfortunately I can't afford this.

  Re 3: "It works on my machine..."- Please leave an issue with some details to discuss this.

Hi, We want to use this plugin and installed in Bitbucket. We could see this plugin under Add Ons while login into Bitbucket as Global Admin user, but a user with Project Admin or Repo Admin privileges, will not be able to see the My Branches plugin under Add Ons. Is this work only for Global Admin user? Thanks & Regards Darby Abraham

  Hello Darby Abraham, please note you need admin permission to install add-ons. After installation, users will see the My Branches icon as showed in this Marketplace listing, tab "Overview", screenshot "Additional icon with your branch count". Users don't need to (and must not) have access to the plugin installation area of Bitbucket.

  If you miss the icon after installation, please check the list of add-on versions and their compatibilities to your Bitbucket version.

  If you have any technical issues or questions, please use the issue tracker https://bitbucket.org/jheger/stash-mybranches/issues?status=new&status=open

  You can reach it also by: This Marketplace listing, tab "Support", link "Documentation", then "Issues".

  Best regards, Johannes

The concept sounds great, but it just says Loading after days of waiting. Using Bitbucket 5.3.1.

  Hello Carlos, I apologise my late response. The link to the documentation disappeared and I recreated it. If you are still interested in the add-on, please file a ticket in the issue tracker and I will sort this out (Documentation => Issues). Kind regards, Johannes
