hij is a sleek Terminal User Interface (TUI) designed for managing GitHub Packages. It specializes in container image version management, allowing you to browse, filter, and bulk-delete versions with precision and speed.

Built for developers who want to keep their GitHub container registries clean without wrestling with the web UI or complex gh CLI commands.

• 🚀 Interactive Browsing: List all container packages in your account instantly.
• 🔃 Sort Versions: Toggle between newest and oldest versions (s).
• 🔍 Smart Filtering: Select versions by age (e.g., :older 30) or specific dates (e.g., :before 2024-01-01).
• 📦 Bulk Operations: Toggle multiple versions or "Select All" for mass cleanup.
• 🔐 Secure Token Management: Leverages system keychain for secure storage of your Personal Access Token.
• ⌨️ Keyboard Driven: Optimized for efficiency with Vim-like keybindings.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maful/hij/main/install.sh | bash

go install github.com/maful/hij

git clone https://github.com/maful/hij.git
cd hij
make build
# Binary will be at ./build/hij

hij requires a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with the following scopes:

• read:packages
• delete:packages

You can provide the token in three ways (checked in priority order):

1. HIJ_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.
2. System Keychain (macOS Keychain, Linux Secret Service, Windows Credential Manager).
3. Interactive prompt upon first run (with an option to save to keychain).

Launch the TUI:

hij

Inside the version list, press : to filter:

• :older <days> — Select versions older than N days (e.g., :older 10).
• :before <date> — Select versions before a date (e.g., :before 2024-01-01).
