Rusty Repo Remover

PERMANENTLY delete a pre-configured list of repositories from your Github Account. Be sure that you actually want to permanently remove these repositories before running this program with the --delete flag!

Getting Started

• Rename ./config/config.toml.example to ./config/config.toml
• Generate a Github personal access token
  • Log in to Github
  • Click your avatar at the top right
  • Click "Settings"
  • Click "Developer Settings" at the bottom
  • Click "Personal access tokens"
  • Click "Fine-grained tokens"
  • Click "Generate new token"
  • Title it "rusty-repo-remover"
  • Set an expiration date — 7 days is the most secure.
    • You should also just revoke this token after you run the deletions.
  • Select the appropriate repository access level
  • Under repository permissions, set "Administration" to Read and Write
  • Click "Generate Token"
• Copy and paste the token into ./config/config.toml as the token value
• Set your username as the user value
• Add some repositories (see list command below) to delete to ./config/config.toml
