Pazekal90 / backup-github.sh
Created May 18, 2021 22:27 — forked from darktim/backup-github.sh
If you have more than 30 Repositories, the original script will not download all. The github api limits the entries to 30 per page but you can raise that up to 100. I have added a small loop which sets the limit to 90 and cycles through all pages until the listing on a page is empty...
