## Deleting branch in your personal fork when Merge Request gets merged
When filing a Merge Request in GitLab, there's a checkbox that can be ticked
to make GitLab automatically delete the feature branch in your personal fork
when the Merge Request gets merged.
This only works if the GitLab user merging the Merge Request has developer
permissions in your personal fork though, so to make this work you will need
to add the GStreamer Marge bot user as member to your personal fork.
Alternatively there's a "Delete merged branches" menu item in the vertical dots
menu on the "Branches" page of your personal fork in GitLab.
