First of all, thank you very much.

Could you give more information about the use of the harbor_tags_delete.sh script?

What format of repos should the repos.txt file look like?

Can you tell with an example structure?

hi @leventgenc
sorry for responding late. I'm seeing it today. Better late than never.
hoping this would be useful to other folks

You can List up all Docker images and details of each image under the project example like 'library' like this

$ curl -i -k -X GET "https://harbor.mycompany.local/api/search?q=library/

redirect the above output to a file and extract the repo names using awk command.

Why the script is useful - I have captured in this blog link
