Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Bitwarden is currently first choice in password management software.
Generally I think Bitwarden is a good piece of software, however they have Google Analytics baked in and turned on by default. You can turn it off [1] but some users may not realise it's there to begin with as it is not well advertised. I think the recommendation for Bitwarden on the site should have a clear disclaimer about disabling Google Analytics, or it should be withdrawn completely.

Remove that crap. KeePass ftw

@kspearrin Oh that's great news!
As an aside - thanks for making such a brilliant product. I'm a paying user :)
