Usage

Description Command
Help ./githubcloner.py --help
Clone all repositories of a single user. ./githubcloner.py --user user -o /tmp/output
Clone all repositories of multiple users. ./githubcloner.py --user user1,user2,user3 -o /tmp/output
Clone all repositories of a single organization. ./githubcloner.py --org organization -o /tmp/output
Clone all repositories of multiple organizations. ./githubcloner.py --org organization1,organization2 -o /tmp/output
Clone all repositories of an organization in a hosted Github ./githubcloner.py --org organization -o /tmp/output --api-prefix https://git.company.com/api/v3
Modify the amount of used threads ./githubcloner.py --user user --threads 10 -o /tmp/output
Clone all repositories of an organization, along with all repositories of the organization's members. ./githubcloner.py --org organization --include-org-members -o /tmp/output
Use Github authentication in the task. ./githubcloner.py --org organization -o /tmp/output --authentication user:token
Clone authenticated repositories that the authenticated user has access to. ./githubcloner.py -o /tmp/output --authentication user:token --include-authenticated-repos
Include gists. ./githubcloner.py --user user -o /tmp/output --include-gists
Save repos as username_reponame ./githubcloner.py --user user -o /tmp/output --prefix-mode underscore
Save repos as username/reponame ./githubcloner.py --user user -o /tmp/output --prefix-mode directory
Save repos as reponame ./githubcloner.py --user user -o /tmp/output --prefix-mode none
Exclude comma separated list of repos ./githubcloner.py --user user -- exclude_repos repo1,repo2,repo3,...
Print gathered URLs only and then exit. ./githubcloner.py --user user --include-gists --echo-urls
