rererepo

Tidy up your
repositories

Stale repositories, too many stars, scattered clones. One macOS app tidies up GitHub and your disk alike.

Download for macOS (.dmg)
or with Homebrew 
brew install --cask lightsound/rererepo/rererepo
  • Free
  • Signed & notarized
  • No telemetry
The rererepo main window: an owner sidebar on the left, GitHub repository cards on the right with the Cleanup targets filter pill

01 β€” Unwanted repositories

Unwanted repositories,
remote and local.

Stale, archived, forked. Candidates surface from GitHub-side facts, and you choose what to delete: the repository on GitHub, the clone on your disk, or both.

  • Reasons shown on the card
  • Unpushed work triggers a warning
  • Hold to confirm, plus a final check
The list with the Cleanup targets pill enabled; each card shows reason chips such as 'No push in 1 year 4 months' and 'No push in 2 years'
Find β€” candidates with their reasons
The delete dialog with 'Delete on GitHub' and 'Delete local clone' checkboxes and a 'Deleting will lose work (unpushed commits)' warning on the local clone
Delete β€” pick remote, local or both
02 β€” Stars

Revisit the stars
you forgot about.

Spot starred repositories that went quiet or got archived, and unstar them right there.

  • Idle, archived, deprecated
  • Unstar on the spot
  • One click to star again
The star review screen (screenshot coming soon)
Revisit β€” idle and archived stars
03 β€” Clones

Scattered clones,
into the ghq layout.

Move scattered local clones into github.com/owner/repository in one batch. See where each one goes before it moves, and undo if you change your mind.

  • Preview destinations first
  • Undo
  • Clone what's missing on the spot
The organize screen: 7 clones to move, each with its current path and its ghq destination, and a 'Move 7 selected items' button
Organize β€” check the destinations, then move
And more

Along the way.
