Is there a good way to delete all old tags remotely on GitHub?

I can use git tag | grep 23. | xargs -n 1 -I% git tag -d % to delete old tags locally.
As GitHub does not allow login with username and password git tag | grep 23. | xargs -n 1 -I% git push origin :refs/tags/% won't work.

I tried to push tags using IntelliJ, but that does not delete anything.

Any ideas?

You can login to Github using ‘personal access token’;

Will I use that as my password?

[Frank Bouwens]

Yes, I think so

auth via ssh works should work as well

[Stefan Oltmann]

Ah, yes. That seems to work.
The access token can be used as password. Nice. 🙂

Thank you!
