okay so you found the page for gh-issue-artifact-delete, part of the GitHub CLI manual, and honestly? it's a little icon of destruction and we're gonna learn it together 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

gh-issue-artifact-delete — delete issue artifacts (preview) 👑 no cap, that preview tag is right there in the name, iykyk

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gh issue artifact delete {<issue> <artifact-number>... | <artifact-
url>...} [flags]

that's the whole vibe. two ways to name what you're yeeting, plus flags. periodt. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, this command deletes artifacts from an issue. that's the main character energy of it 💖

⚠️ a deleted artifact can't be restored. like, gone gone. no undo, no "wait bestie I changed my mind". 😭

you can name artifacts by their issue and numbers, or by their URLs — and when you go the URL route, they all have to be on one issue. and <issue> is either an issue number or a URL. easy ✨

one more thing, and it's lowkey important: in a terminal, deletion requires confirmation. --yes skips that prompt — and it's required when prompting is unavailable. so if there's no terminal to ask you "are you sure?", you need --yes or it's not happening 🙈

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --yes — confirm the deletion without prompting. the "yes I'm sure, I've thought about it, slay" flag 💅

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

• -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO> — select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format. so you can point at a different repo instead of the one you're standing in 🫶

---

🌈 EXIT CODES 🌈

vibe check on how it went:

• 0: successful execution ⭐
• 1: error 💀
• 2: command canceled (you said no!) 🙈
• 4: authentication required 🔥

📌 NOTE: specific commands may have additional exit codes. refer to the command's help for more information.

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

okay real examples, these ate:

# Delete artifact 2 from issue 142
$ gh issue artifact delete 142 2

# Delete two artifacts without a prompt
$ gh issue artifact delete 142 2 5 --yes

see how the second one just goes for it? that's the --yes energy 🔥
