github-pewpew

Pew pew needless GitHub repos!
Clean up your unused repos via the CLI within seconds.

Installation and Usage

To install the latest version of github-pewpew CLI, run this command:

npm i -g github-pewpew

To quickly start using it, run the following command:

ghpew

Available commands:

ghpew repos
ghpew codespaces

Why?

Have you ever had too much fun with the GitHub API and ended up creating too many dummy repos? Me too 😅!

I made this little CLI tool to clean up repositories quickly. I'm planning to add some flags and regexp to delete in bulk in the future. Let me know if that sounds interesting to you.
