Gitea Repository Antispam

Solution for repositories created by spammers.

This script deletes Gitea repositories that are likely created by spammers based on the following criteria:

  • Repository has no commits

This project is a professional, ready-to-use script for managing Gitea repositories. It allows you to list, check, and delete repositories based on customizable criteria. Designed for efficiency and security, it supports environment variable configuration, command-line parameters, and token-based authentication.

Features

  • List all accessible repositories
  • Check for existing commits
  • Delete repositories that meet specific criteria
  • Safe dry-run mode for testing
  • Easy token management via Gitea's application settings

Requirements

  • Python 3.x
  • requests library (install via pip install requests)

Environment Variables (Optional)

You can create a .env file in the project directory to set default values for the script. This file is optional but recommended for convenience.

.env file format

GITEA_USERNAME=your_username
GITEA_PASSWORD=your_password
GITEA_API_URL=https://gitea.example.com/api/v1
GITEA_API_TOKEN=your_token

Notes:

  • The .env file is purely for default values; command-line arguments override these settings.
  • You should generate a personal access token in Gitea under /user/settings/applications. Use this token for authentication to avoid exposing your password.

Usage

Example Gitea URL

https://gitea.example.com/api/v1

Creating a Token in Gitea

  1. Log in to your Gitea account.
  2. Navigate to /user/settings/applications.
  3. Create a new application token.
  4. Use this token as the GITEA_API_TOKEN in your environment or command-line.

Command-line Parameters

python main.py \
  --gitea-username your_username \
  --gitea-password your_password \
  --gitea-api-url https://gitea.example.com \
  --gitea-api-token your_token \
  --dry-run
  • --dry-run: Perform a simulation without making any changes (default mode).
  • --no-dry-run: Execute actual deletions and modifications.

Default Behavior

If environment variables are set or .env exists, you can run the script without parameters:

python main.py

The script will run with a configuration time of approximately 10 minutes, suitable for large repositories or extensive operations.
