gloner

🧰 A simple CLI tool to clone GitHub user or organization repositories into a separate folder in the current working directory.
Supports interactive selection or cloning all repositories with the --all flag.

⚠️ Requires Node.js 18+ due to modern fetch and ESM modules.

npm install -g gloner

./<account>/<repo1>
