How to delete all your own repositories on github

As programmers’ skills continue to improve, the number of our repositories on GitHub also continues to grow. Sometimes, however, we need to delete our entire GitHub account or some of its repositories to start over. This article explains how to delete your GitHub repository.

First, to delete all repositories on GitHub, you need 3 steps:

1. Delete your fork
2. Delete your repository
3. Delete your account

Step 1: Delete the fork

If you are forking someone else's project, you must first delete all the repositories you forked. This is because you cannot delete a forked repository unless the original repository has been deleted or you have converted it to a standalone repository.

To delete a fork, follow these steps:

1. Open your GitHub account and navigate to the fork's page.
2. Select the "repositories" tab on this page.
3. For each project you fork, click the "settings" button.
4. In the right navigation bar, find the option "Delete this repository".
5. Click OK to delete the fork.

Step 2: Delete your repository

Now that you have deleted all your forks, you can start deleting the repository you created on GitHub.

1. Open your GitHub account and navigate to the home page.
2. Find the repository you want to delete and click on its name to enter the repository's home page.
3. This page will display all the information of the warehouse, including README, Issues, Pull Requests and code library.
4. In the home page, click the "Settings" button in the upper right corner of the page, and then find the delete option in the left sidebar of the page.
5. Click on the "Delete this repository" option.
6. Click Confirm to delete your repository.

Step 3: Delete your account

If you want to completely delete your account from GitHub, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Open your GitHub account and navigate to "Account settings".
2. Find the "Delete account" option to delete your account.
3. Click the "Delete this account" button.
4. Enter your GitHub account password to verify your account.
5. Click the "Delete account" button to completely delete your GitHub account and related repositories.

Summary:

Deleting all repositories on GitHub can be an arduous process, but it can also be the starting point. By deleting your old repository and account, you can start fresh with a clean, bright GitHub account for sharing your latest and greatest projects.
