GitHub Packages: Delete private packages on GitHub

In addition to deleting private packages through the GraphQL API, you can now delete private packages when navigating to your repository’s packages on github.com. See our guide in GitHub Help for more.

GitHub Desktop 2.3 brings two permissions from GitHub.com to your local machine to prevent obstacles and frustration:

  • If you’ve cloned a repository that you don’t have write access to, you can now create a fork from within GitHub Desktop.
  • If you’re on a branch that you don’t have permission to push to, GitHub Desktop warns you ahead of time so you don’t accidentally commit to the wrong branch.
