Unsubscribe from watching a whole bunch of github repositories. This is a simple shell script that automates something that'd be tedious to do manually...
Set these env variables:
GH_USER: username
GH_TOKEN: access token for the github API
GH_PAGES: no. of pages in the subscription API, you can find it via curl -H "Authorization: token $GH_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/users/$GH_USER/subscriptions | grep Link
Then generate a list of all repos you're subscribed to:
$ ./github-unwatch.sh list_repos > list.txt
Examine the list and delete repos you still want to watch -- everything within the list will be un-watched.
Now run the unsubscribe command and watch it free your GH inbox:
$ cat list.txt | ./github-unwatch.sh unsubscribe
Unsubscribed from:
- odino/some
- odino/thing
- odino/else
done.
