# fork-cleanup

Remove your unneccessary forks from github

A [blogpost on medium.com](https://medium.com/@icanhazedit/clean-up-unused-github-rpositories-c2549294ee45) gave me the idea to do this in a more safe and easier way.

Requires python 3

# How to run it

- pip3 install --user PyGithub

- git clone https://github.com/bebehei/fork-cleanup && cd fork-cleanup

- cp credentials.txt.template credentials.txt

- $EDITOR credentials.txt

  - You have to fill **either**:

    - `AUTH_TOKEN`

    - `AUTH_USER` and `AUTH_PASS`

  - [If you want to generate a token, you have to create in you profile settings a new one.](https://github.com/settings/tokens) This token has to have the `delete_repo` scope.

- ./cleanup

  - If you're not sure about this, you can also use the `--dry` option.

  - The `-v` option is also useful.

# Two Factor Auth

If you use two factor auth, you have to use a token. Any other possibility won't work.
