Repository deleting
 
-------------------
 

	
 
Currently when an admin or owner deletes a repository, Kallithea does
 
not physically delete said repository from the filesystem, but instead
 
renames it in a special way so that it is not possible to push, clone
 
or access repository. It is worth noting that even if someone will be
 
given administrative access to Kallithea and will delete a repository,
 
you can easy restore such an action by removing ``rm__<date>`` from
 
the repository name. There is also a special command for cleaning such
 
archived repos::
 
or access the repository.
 

	
 
There is a special command for cleaning up such archived repos::

This command will scan for archived repositories that are older than

This command scans for archived repositories that are older than
 
30 days, displays them, and asks if you want to delete them (unless given
 
the ``--dont-ask`` flag). If you host a large amount of repositories with
 
forks that are constantly being deleted, it is recommended that you run this
 
command via crontab.
 

	
 
It is worth noting that even if someone is given administrative access to
 
Kallithea and deletes a repository, you can easily restore such an action by
 
renaming the repository directory, removing the ``rm__<date>`` prefix.
 

	
 
Follow current branch in file view
 
----------------------------------
 

	
 
In file view when this checkbox is checked the << and >> arrows will jump
 
to changesets within the same branch currently being viewed. So for example
 
if someone is viewing files in the ``beta`` branch and marks the `follow current branch`
 
checkbox the << and >> buttons will only show revisions for the `'beta`` branch.
