💖 glab(1) — the glab manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this page lives in the glab manual, and it's about one specific command: glab repo delete. it's giving "final boss of destructive commands" ngl, so buckle up 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

glab-repo-delete — delete an existing project on GitLab. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

glab repo delete [[/]] [flags]

literally that's the shape of it, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Delete an existing project on GitLab. 💀

If you don't pass an argument, it targets the project for the current repository — so like, it just goes for the repo you're standing in. main character energy but make it scary.

⚠️ bestie. listen. this permanently deletes the entire project, including:
  • the Git repository 🧚
  • issues and merge requests 😭
  • wiki pages 📝
  • CI/CD pipelines and job artifacts 🔥
  • other project content and settings 🫠

This action cannot be undone. like, at all. no undo button, no takebacks, no "wait I didn't mean it". so maybe double-check which repo you're in first? 🙈

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

  • -y, --yes[=false] — skip the confirmation prompt and immediately delete the project. one flag, zero chill. defaults to false, so by default it will ask you first (thankfully 💖).

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

  • -h, --help[=false] — show help for this command. defaults to false. your lil safety blanket, always there 🫶

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

# Delete a personal project.
glab repo delete dotfiles

# Delete a project in a GitLab group, or another project
# you have write access to:
glab repo delete mygroup/dotfiles
glab repo delete myorg/mynamespace/dotfiles

see how the first one is just a plain project name? and the others are group-scoped, or some other project you happen to have write access to. slay ✨
