gh repo delete

gh repo delete [<repository>] [flags]

Delete a GitHub repository.

With no argument, deletes the current repository. Otherwise, deletes the specified repository.

For safety, when no repository argument is provided, the --yes flag is ignored and you will be prompted for confirmation. To delete the current repository non-interactively, specify it explicitly (e.g., gh repo delete owner/repo --yes).

Deletion requires authorization with the delete_repo scope. To authorize, run gh auth refresh -s delete_repo

Options

--yes Confirm deletion without prompting
