github-clone-all-repos

Node command line utility to clone all of a user’s or organization’s repositories.

Why?

Even though it may not seem as necessary with Github, it would be nice to have a backup tool for all of one’s repositories (without having to clone each repository individually).

Installation

You must have node installed.

Run $ npm install gcar -g.

How To

Command

The base command is github-clone-all-repos, or gcar, for short.

Flags

-u, --user <user>    Github username
-U, --users <users>  Github username list

-o, --org <org>      Github organization
-O, --orgs <orgs>    Github organization list

-t, --token <token>  Temporary Github token
-T, --Token <Token>  Save Github token

-h, --help           output help information

!important

You must specify a Personal Github Token in order for the script to run

These tokens can be generated at https://github.com/settings/tokens

Examples

(The Personal Github Token used in the examples is not valid…)

Clone a single user, without saving the token:

gcar -u nick70 -t 4a68631afb82bala9f9c49892e0e3c82eaa7ef66

Clone multple users, and save the token for later use:

gcar -U BraxtonHath,nick70 -T 4a68631afb82bala9f9c49892e0e3c82eaa7ef66

Clone a single organization:

gcar -o tiy-greenville-summer-2017

Mix-and-match multiple flags:

gcar -o tiy-greenville-summer-2017 -U BraxtonHath,nick70 -u jennbowers
