<!-- Greeting --> Hey @cypher7682! 👋 I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have for the project. I'll assist you while we wait for a human maintainer. <!-- Answer --> The issue you're encountering is related to the `lake.refs` table not being updated to reflect branch deletions from GitHub. Currently, there is no field in the `lake.refs` table specifically designed to mark a branch as deleted <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake-website/blob/main/docs/DataModels/DevLakeDomainLayerSchema.md)</sup>. This means that when a branch is deleted in GitHub, it is not automatically marked or removed in the `lake.refs` table during a repository scrape. To address this, you might consider implementing a mechanism to either mark branches as deleted or remove them from the table when they are deleted in GitHub. This would help in accurately detecting stale branches by excluding those that have been deleted. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* --- <sup>Help Dosu learn!
