Unfork

Delete repositories easily with Unfork.

Idea behind Unfork

GitHub forks tend to be created for the following reasons:

1. Following tutorials 📖
2. Contributing to open source projects (especially during Hacktoberfest!) 💻
3. GitHub automatically forking stuff for you when you just wanted to view the source code for a particular file of a project 😆

After months and years, usually these forks still stay in your repository — and that's because of how inconvenient it is to identify and delete the many forks that you have made.

Unfork helps you to solve that problem easily ✨

Features

• View your repository count.
• You can choose what repos to delete before actually deleting them.
• View what the forks that you have deleted.
• Allow users to sort repos by inactivity level (e.g. last repo commit date)
• Generates an optional shell command for you to run to backup all the forks that you are going to delete before deleting them.

Demo

TopicSpace

Apply any topic you like e.g. Hacktoberfest to the repositories that you own.

Features

• You can choose multiple topics and apply it to all of the repos you have selected
• Show list of existing topics that the repositories have
• Show list of autocompleted topics that user can select after user types in some input (just like in GitHub)
• Allow users to sort repos by issue count
• Preview of repo upon hover on repo item: show repo name, description, stars etc like a GitHub repo card
