+name: Delete orphan translation files
+
+# **What it does**:
+#    Compares content & data files left in each translation that aren't
+#    in docs-internal. Then creates a PR to delete these files.
+# **Why we have it**:
+#    When Juno dumps to each translation repo it can not account for the
+#    fact that files in docs-internal get moved or deleted. So the
+#    sum total of files constantly grows.
+#    This leads to excess files in each translation repo that are not
+#    ever used but has to be put into every production build.
+# **Who does it impact**: Docs engineering

+/**
+ * This script will delete files from a translation repo of files that
+ * only exist there and not "here". Here being the docs repo.
+ * It will only look at *.md files in `content/` and
+ * only look at *.md and *.yml files in `data/`.
+ *
+ * If executed with `--dry-run` it will only print what it would delete.
+ *
+ * To avoid deleting too many files at once, which can make PRs too big,
+ * there's a `--max <number>` options which is defaulted to 100.
+ *
+ * To run this locally, check out a translation repo and then run it like this:
+ *
+ *    git clone git@github.com:github/docs-internal.ja-jp.git /tmp/docs-internal.ja-jp
+ *    npm run delete-orphan-translation-files -- /tmp/docs-internal.ja-jp
+ *
+ * Note that it doesn't execute `git rm ...` for you. Just regular
+ * file deletion. It's up to you now to commit and push.
