Delete package from the Github Package Registry

Github Action that deletes the given package from the Github Package Registry.

Options

This action supports the following options.

packageVersionId

The version id of the package to be deleted, when null this action exits with a failure.

• Required: Yes
• Type: string

Output

This action has only one output and that's the success output. This is the value we get back from the GraphQL API indicating whether the operation has been a success or failure. We'll leave it up to you to consider what that means for your workflow.

Example

The following example is a slimmed down version of my Docker Image clean up workflow. It runs hourly and takes at most 10 seconds, including the building of this action. The workflow picks up one Docker Image and deletes that one, the next hour it will try to get another package id and delete it. When there isn't a Docker Image to delete it will silently skip the deletion and try again in an hour.
