RepoSweeper – Bulk GitHub action: archive, delete, collab, visibility

This is a pragmatic UI built on top of the GitHub API that removes the painful, repetitive work of cleaning thousands of small repos — bulk archive/unarchive, visibility toggles, collaborator cleanup, and a handy staleness score are the real wins. Not revolutionary technology, but those workflow features (plus persistent selection across pages) will save maintainers hours; I'd still want clear audit/rollback and org-permission controls before running it widely.

CLI Rust tool gitorg helps manage GitHub orgs

Gives you org-level operations that you'd otherwise script: auth, list orgs, repo sorting (stars/activity/staleness), stale-repo finder, cross-org issues and a dashboard — with JSON output for easy automation. Nothing revolutionary here, but the focused command set, XDG-config support and explicit token scopes make it a practical, scriptable tool for keeping repo hygiene under control.
