Bamboo Bulk Deletion of Branches Using jQuery

BambooBulkDelete.js

'use strict';
// Look up all of the branches that contain with 'develop-'
jQuery("a:contains('develop-')").map(function (a) {
    var a = this;
    // Trim off all of the excess URL cruft to get back just the plan key
    return a.href.substring(a.href.indexOf('browse/') + 7, a.href.lastIndexOf('/'));
}).each(function (i, planKey) {
    // For each plan key, use the bamboo action chain to delete it using a POST through jQuery ajax. 
    setTimeout(function () {
        jQuery.ajax({
            url: 'http://<bamboo-url>/chain/admin/deleteChain!doDelete.action',
            method: 'POST',
            data: {
                buildKey: planKey,
                save: 'Confirm'
            },
            dataType: 'text'
        })
    }, 1);
});

How To Use.md

Usage Of This Script

1. You must authenticate to your own bamboo server in order to use this. Specifically, the page you must have open with your favorite developer tools will look like

   http://<bamboo-url>/chain/admin/config/configureBranches.action?buildKey=<build-key>

2. Once you're on this page, you can copy and paste this script into the chrome developer tools, replacing <bamboo-url> with the main URL of your bamboo instance.
3. Make sure to change the 'develop-' to a string you want to match in bulk, because if you don't have any branches that contain develop- this won't do anything
4. This only works on active branches. If you want to delete disabled branches instead, change 'develop-' to '.branches > .disabled a'
