    While GitHub provides the ability to remove old workflow runs
(https://github.blog/changelog/2020-07-07-github-actions-ability-to-delete-workflow-runs/), it fails
to provide an option to delete all workflow runs for a particular workflow.
Manual deletion can become extremely tedious...
Turns out, this can be achieved using GitHub CLI (https://github.com/cli/cli), read on.


Idea initially noticed here: refined-github/refined-github#4838


Which brought me here: cli/cli#6449
where this solution in given:
gh run \
  list --json databaseId  -q '.[].databaseId' -w integration.yml --limit 500 \
  | xargs -IID -P 15 \
    gh api "repos/$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner)/actions/runs/ID" \
    -X DELETE
