Does anyone know why we still witness deleted git branches in the "Build process file" Process drop down, when I edit my build definition?
It is a bit of annoyance but but something that is increasing as we have more and more deleted git branches.
We are using TFS 2013 and editing them on Visual Studio 2013 update 5
Found out a way of doing it using community Team Build manager
The extension has an drop down for Build Process Templates. YOu can right click on a template and remove it from Team project.
You just delete the branch in your local repository.The branch in drop down is on the remote(TFS server)
From Visual Studio you have two options:
1.Unpublish
2.Delete
Unpublish will remove the Branch tag on the remote (TFS server) and that will hide the branch from the drop down.The branch in local still exists.
Delete will remove the branch from your local TFS repository. It will remain on the remote (TFS Server), but you will no longer have it available in your Visual Studio's Branches window. You can get it back by creating a local branch that tracks the remote branch anew
So ,to achieve what you want, you just need to unpubilsh the branch or delete the branch from remote.
