Ease repository deletion #3730

fregante posted onGitHub

I hate deleting repositories because at least 5 clicks + selections, copy-paste, scroll + password.

I think this can be simplified, at the very least for forks. For example, if there are:

  • no stars
  • no open issues
  • no local PRs
  • no cross-fork PRs (via show-open-prs-of-forks)

We could show a Delete fork tab next to the Settings tab, or in more-dropdown

Such link would:

  1. show a full-page 5-second deletion countdown ("click anywhere to stop")
  2. call the API
  3. load github.com
    • or, if the tab is in the background by then and if possible, we could close the tab once it's done (via browser.tabs.remove())
