RepoDeleter

Because deleting many repos from a cluttered Github profile is a major pain...

Installation

• Install Elixir (1.6 or higher)
• Run mix deps.get

Configuration

• Add your Github Personall Access Token as an environment variable:
  • To generate a token, visit: https://github.com/settings/tokens and click "Generate new token"
  • Copy the token string
  • Set GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN to the token
• Also in your environment, set GITHUB_USERNAME to your Github username (e.g. bdfinlayson)

Usage

The CLI accepts a number of switches:

• --totalcount: use this to view a count of the total number of repos in your Github account
• --list [number]: use this to list a certain number of repos from your account
• --delete [repo_name]: use this to delete a specific repo from your account
• --deleteAll --confirm: use this to cycle through all your repos and confirm whether you want to delete each one

Example Usage

• Running ./repo_deleter --deleteAll --confirm will give you the following output:

Do you want to delete this repo?: initialized-project
yes or no? y


Repository initialized-project successfully destroyed!
You now have this many respositories remaining:
