In the meantime, you can use turbolift foreach
in combination with the gh
cli tool:
(replace $USER
if necessary)
(your github token will need to have delete_repo
permissions checked)
turbolift foreach 'gh api -X DELETE repos/$USER/$(basename $(pwd))'
(of course be careful with this in case you have your own repos that you were turbolifting... )
@sledigabel's suggestion: add a label to the forked repo indicating that the fork was created for turbolift, and add a new label for each campaign that uses a given fork. Use this to add a safety guard to turbolift cleanup
so that we don't accidentally delete forks that are still in use for other purposes.
Another suggestion (in parallel)?
turbolift cleanup list
dumps a list of repos that could be cleaned up to a file
User hand-edits the file - potentially an interactive $EDITOR
session?
turbolift cleanup apply
actually does the deletion
As-is, turbolift users will end up with large numbers of forks in their personal org. This is annoying, and cleaning these up is a chore.
We should have a
turbolift cleanup
feature to delete a user's forks.We should discuss safety aspects, e.g. should we avoid deleting forks if:
Some combination of warnings/prompts may help.
