Wow what a lovely tool!

I used it successfully to delete many old Forks.

Just one request if you could give list with select/unselect for all the forks queued for deletion so we may can unselect any few of those repos just in case.

Yes, that was a feature I was debating on adding, I figure launch the tool first, then see what features people want. I'll add this in soon!

I second this request. It's a nice tool, but it can be really easy to accidentally nuke something useful.

This is cool!

For those who just want to clean old branches from their forks and insist on doing this process locally, you can also check out git-sweep[1]

Looks super handy! I usually every few months clean out a repo's branches that are outdated or no longer used by hand. It's good to see there's an alternative tool for that :)
