/gist-cleaner

A quick script to quickly and easily delete your private Gists.

Primary LanguageRuby

Summary

This script will permanently delete all your private Gists, so proceed with caution. It's handy for when you've built up a lot of cruft when sharing snippets. This will give you a nice clean slate to work with.

This is a slight tweak (aka, a complete rip of) Trevor's original Gist.

Setup

  1. From the command line: gem install httparty
  2. Open gist_cleaner.rb in any editor and change the @username and @password values to your's. If you're using Github's 2-factor authentication, you'll need to create an application password and choose a single permission: gist -> Create gists

Run

  1. From the command line: ruby gist_cleaner.rb
