Bulk Delete Github Repos

Cleaning up your Github account of old, and unused repos can be very tedious. Using this code you can delete multiple repos very quickly!

• git clone this repo
• Create a personal access token with delete_repo permissions
• Add names of your repos to the repos file in the format <USER_NAME>/<REPO_NAME>i.e. this repo's name would be EdwinJackson/BulkDeleteGithubRepos
• Replace ${GITHUB_DELETE_TOKEN} in deleterepos.sh with your own token
• cd BulkDeleteGithubRepos
• chmod +x deleterepos.sh
• ./deleterepos.sh
• check your github page

Creating a delete_repo token

Profile Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Check delete_repo > Add description > Click Generate Token > Place token in deleterepos.sh where ${GITHUB_DELETE_TOKEN} is (replace ${} as well)
