Hello, I'd like to thank you. Your code is the one I wanted. Thanks to your code, I can easily add 'watching' status to all repositories in specific organization. Anyway, I would like to suggest a little bit update this code. If you don't mind, could you see my fork?

@eubnara your revision looks good. I'd add a default value for host_name, defaulting to api.github.com, though.

Thanks for this @thet. Really saved me a ton of time!

One note for those who come later. If you have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your account, you can't use this script with your username and password because it's doing "basic" authentication. However, you can get around this by using a personal access token that has the right permissions. You can then use basic authentication with the token as your id/username and x-oauth-basic as your password.

My fork has a fallback that works for username/password or for auth token. Just pass the token as the password. The username is ultimately ingnored. Thanks @thet and @rajrsingh for this example and the auth token howto.

Seems outfile needs to exist even on first run.

I wrote a simple solution using PyGithub if anyone else is having issues with this script.

from github import Github

g = Github("YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN")

for repo in g.get_user().get_repos():
    print(g.get_user().add_to_watched(repo))
