Usage:
Commands:
authenticate Add or update GitHub credentials
destroy Destroy repositories in db/repositories
fetch Fetch a list of a repos from Github
Authenticate
Before authenticating, visit https://github.com/settings/tokens and create a token with 'delete_repo' scope.
repo_destroyer authenticate will prompt the user for their username and a personal access token. Credentials are saved
in db/credentials.csv.
Fetch (Repos)
repo_destroyer fetch will fetch a full list of all of your repos and save them in db/repositories.txt. Repo
Destroyer will iterate through this list when you run repo_destroyer destroy. Feel free to edit this file manually to
avoid deleting important repositories.
Destroy
repo_destroyer destroy will look for db/repositories.txt and proceed to iterate through the list of repositories in
that file. For each repo, the user will be asked if they want to delete that repository.
