清除 GitHub 上的僵尸提醒

Stuck with a notification for a deleted repository #174843

• https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/174843

Bug: ghost notifications #6874

• https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/6874#discussioncomment-14508572

这种一般是因为提醒的仓库被删除了。

清除未读提醒：

gh api notifications\?all=true | jq -r 'map(select(.unread) | .id)[]' | xargs -L1 sh -c 'gh api -X PATCH notifications/threads/$0'

如果还想删除侧边栏里这些提醒的仓库列表：

gh api 'notifications?all=true' | jq -r '.[].id' | xargs -I {} gh api -X DELETE 'notifications/threads/{}'
