Deleting a branch now includes an option to recursively delete its descendant branches in the same action.
This option is available across the PlanetScale app, CLI, and API:
- Web app: Select Also delete descendants in the delete confirmation dialog.
- CLI: Run
pscale branch delete <DATABASE_NAME> <BRANCH_NAME> --delete-descendants. - API: Send
DELETE /v1/organizations/{organization}/databases/{database}/branches/{branch}?delete_descendants=true.
Without this option, branch deletion behavior is unchanged.
