libgit2sharp remove remote branch

Question

I want to delete a branch locally and remote. My code:

using (var repository = new Repository(path))
{
    var remote = repository.Network.Remotes[\"origin\         


        

Answer 1

I just figured out the solution from the libgit2 sourcecode.

repository.Network.Push(origin, "+:/refs/heads/to-remove-branch")

The part +:/refs/heads/to-remove-branch of the refspec specifies that the remove command is forced, else just use :/refs/heads/to-remove-branch

Answer 2

This is failing with a 401 Unauthorized error because it is unauthorized. To fix this error, you just need to pass the options containing your credentials to the Push() method:

repository.Network.Push(remote, pushRefSpec, options)

That fixed this problem for me.
