Is there an option to cancel runs for all scheduled github actions in one repository at once. To always go here and cancel runs is a lot of clicking. Thanks

You can use Github Actions API to list workflow runs and cancel workflows runs.

The following script use curl bash and jq to :

  • get ids of workflow runs with status queued or in_progress
  • cancel these workflows runs

To run the script below you will need a personnal access token with repo scope :

token=YOUR_TOKEN
repo=your_user/your_repo

ids=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $token" \
     https://api.github.com/repos/$repo/actions/runs | \
     jq '.workflow_runs[] | select([.status] | inside(["in_progress", "queued"])) | .id')
set -- $ids
for i; do curl \
     -H "Authorization: token $token" \
     -X POST "https://api.github.com/repos/$repo/actions/runs/$i/cancel"; done

I created this small script to manually cancel all unfinished jobs for a given branch or pull request:

Example:

  # Set up
  export GITHUB_TOKEN=394ba3b48494ab8f930fbc93
  export GITHUB_REPOSITORY=apache/incubator-superset

  # Cancel previous jobs for a PR
  ./cancel_github_workflows.py 1042

  # Cancel previous jobs for a branch
  ./cancel_github_workflows.py my-branch

  # Cancel all jobs including the last ones, this is useful
  # when you have closed a PR or deleted a branch and want
  # to cancel all its jobs.
  ./cancel_github_workflows.py 1024 --include-last

gh run list + powershell:

gh run list --limit 5000 --json status,databaseId -q ".[] | select (.status == \`"queued\`" ) | .databaseId" | ForEach-Object -Process { gh run cancel $_ }

Gets first 5000 workflows, filters it by "status" == "queued" and passes it to "gh run cancel"

Here is my GNU one-liner for cancelling all current runs:

$ gh run list --json databaseId -q '.[].databaseId' \
| xargs -d '\n' -n1 gh run cancel
