PlanetScale/PlanetScale Changelog/Delete descendant branches with branch deletion

Delete descendant branches with branch deletion

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 --delete-descendants. API: Send DELETE /v1/organizations/{organization}/databases/{database}/branches/{branch}?delete_descendants=true. Without this option, branch deletion behavior is unchanged.
