Is it possible to remove a remote repository on Github through the command line?

I'm currently running a bash script to automatically create a remote repository on Github using curl. I was wondering if there was any way of also deleting remote Github repositories on the command line as well. Any help would be appreciated!

You could use the GitHub API "Delete repository" for that.
But you will need to use a oauth token with the appropriate scope (as mentioned here)
You can see an example in this question:

curl -X DELETE -H 'Authorization: token xxx' https://api.github.com/repos/USERNAME/REPO-NAME
