react-rm

This program serves as a small command-line utility to remove all reactions from any issue in a given repository.

Prerequisites

Github API Token

This program uses the Github personal access token for authorization and authentication.

To create a new Github Token, follow the GitHub documentation.

This application requires the repo access.

Configuration file

The program expects a configuration file. See the example github-cli.

Copy this configuration file into the default ~/.config location:

cp docs/github-cli.yml ~/.config/

Alternatively, you can use any other location on the system. The program uses the -c flag for passing a configuration file path, e.g.:

react-rm -c github-cli

Edit the configuration file with your values.
