GitHub Deletion Features

Delete Comments, Stars, Follows and Gists in GitHub

Find and delete your issue comments, Stars, Follows and Gists in GitHub. Comments are loaded per repository, so pick one of the repositories you own that has issues enabled and Redact will list the issue comments you left there. You can select multiple contents at the same time. The RESET button clears out all selected content. Select All selects all the present content connected in your account.

Delete GitHub activity by date range

Redaction can be specified by Start Date (Only delete after this date) or End Date (Only delete before this date), pressing the calendar icon, you go straight to month selection by pressing the month ie April, pressing the title again Pick Month in 2021 will navigate to year selection. Clicking the Reset red text will delete all the date value for that field.

Delete your GitHub history

GitHub only deletes what you pick. Open the selector, choose the issue comments, stars, and gists you want gone (follows are in the separate Unfollow category), then switch to deletion mode and click start deleting. If nothing is selected, nothing is deleted, so there is no skip the form shortcut here. Take note that content deletion is irreversible.
