unlearn

Unlearn

Declutter your GitHub by deleting all forked Learn.co repositories.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'unlearn'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install unlearn

Usage

Execute:

$ unlearn

And then follow the prompts. You'll need to create a new personal access token on GitHub with the delete_repo scope enabled.

For the lazy efficient, click this link and then hit the green Generate token button.

Questions

Why did you build this?

To clean up my own GitHub account, to mess around with GraphQL, and to test (unsuccessfully) whether reducing my repo footprint would release my account from the depths of angry unicorn hell.

I'm a current student. Will using this screw up my Learn.co progress?

No, it shouldn't have any effect. That being said, it's much more satisfying if you wait until graduating and then make that 400-ish repo cache go boom all at once.

Will this affect the pretty contribution graph on my profile page?

Yes, inasmuch as every repository created on GitHub (including forks of existing repositories) counts as a contribution. All of the pull requests containing your solution code for a particular lab will still be active and accessible. The only difference is that instead of:

gj wants to merge 1 commit into learn-co-students:master from gj:master

the pull requests will now say:

gj wants to merge 1 commit into learn-co-students:master from unknown repository

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
