🧹 Clean Up Your GitHub Account in Minutes
Stop clicking through GitHub's slow web interface. Managing dozens of repos on github.com means endless page loads, multiple clicks per action, and no keyboard shortcuts. gh-manager-cli replaces all of that with fast, keyboard-first terminal commands:
- Whole account loaded in the background — browse, filter, and fuzzy-search everything instantly
- Single keypress for any action — archive, delete, rename, transfer, change visibility, sync forks
- Bulk operations — act on many repos at once
- Instant updates — no page reloads
Quick Start
# Run with npx (no install)
npx gh-manager-cli@latestOn first run, you'll be prompted to authenticate with GitHub (OAuth recommended). See Token & Security.

V) — visibility, archive, and fork filters in one modal - Repository actions — info, open, rename, transfer, copy URL, delete, archive, change visibility, star, sync fork
- Bulk Select mode (
B) — star, archive, change visibility, delete, and transfer many repos at once - Organisation & Enterprise support — switch contexts (
W), Internal visibility, ENT badge - Fork ahead/behind tracking, colour themes (
