Notification Bankruptcy!

This is a proof of concept for bulk unsubscribing from a given set of organizations and repositories, because life is too short for some things.

Installation

Currently this is only usable from source, so you'll need to clone this repository and run yarn to install the dependencies it requires:

$ yarn

Usage

This script looks for an environment variable named GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN which should be a personal access token that has the notifications scope set, otherwise it will error.

To preview the current notifications:

$ yarn bankruptcy [orgs or owner/repo aliases]

To unsubscribe from these organizations

$ yarn bankruptcy --unsubscribe [orgs or owner/repo aliases]

No guarantees are provided for this tool. Use at your own risk.

What It's Doing

The GitHub API provides details about your current notifications, and these are persisted even after you remove yourself as the member of an organization.

This tool lets you see what notifications you have associated with a given set of organizations or repositories, and will unsubscribe if you pass in the --unsubscribe flag.

Examples
