🧹 Clean Forks extension for GitHub CLI

Clean Forks is a GitHub CLI extension that helps you clean up your forked repositories.

• ☂️ Dry run mode to see what would be deleted
• 🔑 Seemless authentication with the GitHub CLI
• 🛡️ Protects against deletion of forks with open pull requests

Installation

To install the extension, run the following command:

gh extension install nhedger/gh-clean-forks

Important

Your token must have the delete_repo scope to delete forks. When deferring the authentication to the GitHub CLI, you must ensure that the delete_repo scope is included. If you haven't already, you can add the scope to your token by running the following command:

gh auth refresh -s delete_repo

Usage

Delete forks

This command will delete all forks that do not have open pull requests.

gh clean-forks

Force-delete forks

This command will delete all forks, including those with open pull requests.

gh clean-forks --force

Dry run

Dry-run mode will show you what would be deleted without actually deleting anything.

gh clean-forks --dry-run
