Is there a way to delete a branch from a Git repository without doing a clone or any other sort of local copy?
Basically I'm working on a dashboard for a release pipeline and don't want to have to have any of the working project's code on the dashboards server just to delete deployed feature branches.
In case it matters, we use Atlassian Stash and not Github.
I'm looking to do something similar to:
git branch -D ssh://git@repository.com/team/project/feature/deleteme

Easy, from any git repo
git push u://r/l +:refs/heads/branchname
and if you don't happen to have one handy, just make a trash one anywhere with e.g. git init deleteme.
Some repo administrators who've had to give push access to unreliable developers have shut off delete-by-push access, so some repos will reject that command, but it's enabled by default.

You can use Stash REST API (branch utils). You'll need to send an authenticated (see the link for details) DELETE-request to an URL like:
/rest/branch-utils/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos/{repositorySlug}/branches
...with parameter name that specifies the branch you want to delete and (optional?) dryRun that, judging by the name, doesn't actually apply changes but results in a response as if the changes were applied.
Request can be issued by pretty much anything able to authenticate. curl can do that, for instance.

You would have to write a custom git client, possibly using jgit, to do this if the Stash web interface doesn't have an option.
