Yeah, it was disappointing to see that the author of Gogs considers stuff like deleting branches and doing squash and merges outside the scope of what Gogs should do. Much happier after moving to Gitea.

That's great imo. I strongly dislike these things being much more than "viewers" for the underlying git repo. Deleting branches and especially merging and squashing should be done with git. Double especially squashing... I hate to think of the mess that could cause when attempting it with a Web frontend.

It's just git underneath.. And it's not going to do any mess. If it cannot perform an operation (like merging with conflicts), then it is going to tell you about it and you have to do it manually. But why restrict such functionalities that are very convenient ?

I don't think that `git push --delete <remote_name> <branch_name>` is very easy to remember so I prefer doing it via the web interface.
