Common Admin Tasks for Repositories

In case of attached forks or pull-requests repositories should be archived. Here is how to force delete a repository and remove all dependent objects

Below is a fully automated example to force delete repositories reading from a file where each line is a repository name. This can be executed via simple CLI command without entering the interactive shell.

Save the below content as a file named repo_delete_task.py

The code above will read the names of repositories from a file called delete_repos.txt Each lines should represent a single name e.g repo_name_1 or repo_group/repo_name_2

Run this line from CLI to execute the code from the repo_delete_task.py file and exit the ishell after the execution:

echo "%run repo_delete_task.py" | rccontrol ishell Enterprise-1
