Long ago, the first time I read "The Pragmatic Programmer", I read some advice that really stuck with me.
"Don't Use Manual Procedures".
This in the chapter on Ubiquitous Automation. To summarize, they want you to automate all the things.

GitHub repositories can disclose all sorts of potentially valuable information for bug bounty hunters. The targets do not always have to be open source for there to be issues. Organization members and their open source projects can sometimes accidentally expose information that could be used against the target company. in this article I will give you a brief overview that should help you get started targeting GitHub repositories for vulnerabilities and for general recon.
You can just do your research on github.com, but I would suggest cloning all the target's repositories so that you can run your tests locally. I would highly recommend @mazen160's GitHubCloner. Just run the script and you should be good to go.
$ python githubcloner.py --org organization -o /tmp/output
