Cleanup legacy GitHub Actions workflow runs

Python utility to delete GitHub Actions runs for a repository, based on parameters. The GitHub UI currently allows removal of individual workflow runs, but this becomes tedious with a bulk of previous runs. Credit: https://gist.github.com/magnetikonline/2242eb18bf8890e9fc72b3c3ef41bd93

Usage

1. Create a Personal access token allowing the workflow scope:
2. Execute the script against a target GitHub repository (with optional parameters).

Working with Apple arm64 architecture

For most applications, native vs. emulated modes do not need to be user-managed. However, for development purposes, managing the entire stack's architecture may become necessary.

Emulated terminal environment

For an x86 (Rosetta-emulated) environment, create an emulated Terminal.app:

1. Open Finder

ahgraber

import os

def isdrive(path):
    """Return `True` if path is the drive root

    Parameters
    ----------
    path : path-like
    """
    path = os.path.abspath(path)
