This is a Python script that will help you remove all of the stars from your github profile.
Its use is straightforward:
- Clone the github_star_purge repo:
git clone https://www.github.com/Dowwie/github_star_purge.git
- Change to the repo directory:
cd github_star_purge
- Create a Python3 virtual environment:
pyvenv my_venv
- Activate your newly created Python virtual environment:
source my_venv/bin/activate
- Install the github_star_purge package and its Github API dependency:
python setup.py install
The utility installs itself as an executable script from within the activated virtual environment. So, at this point you can run it from the command line:
github_star_purge <username> <password>
When you are finished removing your stars, simply type deactivate
to
exit the virtual environment.
