Remove resources created by the-power scripts.
All cleanup scripts must be run from the root of a the-power clone.
Find an existing clone:
find ~ -maxdepth 5 -name "delete-repo.sh" -path "*/the-power/*" 2>/dev/null
.gh-api-examples.conf points at the correct server.org and repo values before deleting.The fastest way to clean up everything is to delete the entire org:
curl -X DELETE \
-H "Authorization: token ${GITHUB_TOKEN}" \
"${GITHUB_API_BASE_URL}/orgs/${org}"
This removes the org and all its repos, teams, and other resources.

delete_repo or admin:org scope.hostname and org values.Configure the-power for a target GitHub instance. Run configure.py to generate .gh-api-examples.conf with hostname, token, org, repo, and other settings. Covers interactive and non-interactive setup, GHES vs dotcom differences, curl flags for self-signed certs, and GitHub App configuration.
Create a fully populated test organisation on a GitHub instance using the-power's build-all.sh script. Includes users, teams, repos, PRs, branch protection, and more. Requires .gh-api-examples.conf to be configured first.
Create a test repository using the-power's build-testcase scripts. Covers the full decision matrix of 30+ testcase scripts for repos with PRs, issues, workflows, secret scanning, rulesets, runners, and more.
Find the right the-power script by category, keyword, or goal. Covers all ~980 scripts organised by operation type with safety labels for destructive, GHES-only, and bulk operations.
Execute any the-power script with guided parameter input. Covers prerequisites, working directory, output interpretation, HTTP status codes, error patterns, and debugging techniques.
Scale up a test environment by bulk-creating repos, users, orgs, teams, issues, branches, PRs, and commits using the-power's create-many scripts. Three performance tiers: shell, Python connection reuse, and Python pooling.
