# New "Merged" and "Stale" badges

We have added badges next to branches that are labeled as:
- **Merged** (indicating that all their commits have been integrated into a primary branch).
- **Stale** (showing that they have not seen any activity for a while).

These badges are complemented by a helpful **hint view** that appears when you select a fully merged or stale branch.

This view provides a quick, one-click option to delete the branch, making the cleanup process a breeze!
