Exactly, you can not unless you are a collaborator with write permissions.

Hi,

I would like to take this on

from good-first-issue.

Hey,
I've done some research into this and I don't understand how I'm supposed to delete these stale branches.
When I run git branch -a
I see a giant list of branches

but then when I try to do
git branch -d greenkeeper/@octokit/rest-16.20.0
for ex
it returns
error: branch 'greenkeeper/@octokit/rest-16.20.0' not found.

I was hoping I could get some help on this.

Thanks!

I have also tried various git remote prune --dry-run but they also don't find anything

You can delete with git push -d to delete a remote branch. Or do it in the GitHub UI.

from good-first-issue.

You can do that only with the right org permissions.

I don't believe I have the correct permissions setup for me to delete from the github gui, or to remove stale branches in general?

git push origin --delete greenkeeper/@octokit/rest-16.27.3
remote: Permission to cutenode/good-first-issue.git denied to dhuang612.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/cutenode/good-first-issue.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

Exactly.
