Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

GitHub Cloner CLI

A simple CLI tool to clone multiple GitHub repositories at once using a GitHub username. Select the repositories you want to clone, and the tool will download them into your specified directory.

Installation

Global Installation (via npm)

You can install this tool globally using npm:

npm install -g github-cloner-cli

Usage

After installation, you can run the command gclone from your terminal.

gclone

Follow the prompts:

  1. Enter a GitHub username.
  2. Select the repositories you want to clone.
  3. Provide the directory where you want the repositories to be cloned.

The tool will then clone the selected repositories into the specified directory.

Features

  • Clone multiple GitHub repositories at once.
  • Select repositories via a simple CLI interface.
  • Choose where to clone the repositories.

Requirements

  • Node.js: 12.x or higher (since this tool uses ES modules).
  • Git: Must be installed on your machine for cloning repositories.

How It Works

  1. GitHub API: Fetches a list of repositories for the provided GitHub username.
  2. Inquirer.js: Interactive prompts to select the repositories and specify the target directory.
  3. Simple-Git: Handles the actual cloning of the repositories.

Example

$ gclone
Enter GitHub username: jishnu
Select repositories to clone:
  [ ] repo1
  [ ] repo2
  [ ] repo3
Enter full path to clone into: /path/to/clone/directory

Cloning repo1...
✔ Cloned repo1
Cloning repo2...
✔ Cloned repo2

✅ All selected repos cloned successfully.
