Retire a Bitbucket repository on schedule
Keep old experiments from becoming permanent maintenance work.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Delete repository
Permanently deletes a specified bitbucket repository; this action is irreversible and does not affect forks.
Why this helps
Unused repositories linger because retirement requires a deliberate manual check.
- Surfaces repositories that are ready for retirement
- Applies a repeatable decommission check
- Reduces long-term repository clutter
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 0CodeKit and Bitbucket in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation describing the retirement criteria and deletion outcome.
- 3Pick a recurring Notis cron schedule.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one confirmed obsolete repository.
