GH Clone

A simple cli tool that clones whole GitHub accounts or organizations.

Installation

You can either download the latest release from the releases page, or you can install it via go install:

go install github.com/d0x7/ghclone@latest

ghclone will then be available in your $GOPATH/bin directory.

Usage

To clone a GitHub organization, run the following command:

ghclone --all golang

This will clone all repositories of the golang organization into the golang directory.

If there are more than 100 repositories, you will be prompted if you wanna clone the next page too, unless the --all/-a flag is supplied, then all repositories will be downloaded without a prompt. If --all/-a is not supplied but --no-prompt/-np is, the tool will stop after the first page, without a prompt.

If you wanna clone a personal account, run the following command:

ghclone --type user octocat 

This would download the first page (by default 100 repositories, customizable with the --per-page/-pp flag) and if there are more repositories left, it will prompt you if you wanna clone the next page and so on.
