:potable_water: BASH Helper Scripts for Mapping Parallelized GitHub API Functions to User Names in Technicolor!

Primary LanguageShell

githose v0.9.8a

githose concurrently archives GitHub users' code repositories and gist text!

githose is similar to github_cloner by anantshri on GitHub which is written in Python. However, that project does not support gists or implement any form of concurrent programming. githose utilizes background processing for a significant speedup in multi-tasking, especially when a user's account hosts many hundreds of repositories (and some which are rather large.)

Features

The table below is a feature comparison between githose and similar tools:

Software Tool Colors Threads Gists One-to-many GUI

Feature List

  • Multi-Threaded Anonymous Access to GitHub API v3

    • Git commands parallelized with bash (Bourne Again Shell) background processing

    • Responsibility for transport layer anonymity falls squarely on the user
    • Low-level network function wrapper like torify needed to conceal source IP

  • Clone/pull all of a user's repositories and gists in one fell swoop

    • githose handles code repositories
    • gisthose handles gist entries
    • gristhose handles both code repositories and gist entries

  • Support for ANSI escape code colors
