CloneGits
A tool to clone all of a user's GitHub repos to the local machine.
Usage
Run python2 clonegits.py either run it in the target directory
or use --dest to supply it with a directory to download into.
Requirements
This only requires PyGithub, which can be installed with
pip install pygithub.
Authentication
You have the option to supply a GitHub OAuth token with --token,
otherwise authentication with be done with username/password. You may
supply a username as an arg with --user.
To ensure that private repos are downloaded correctly, you should have a GitHub authentication stored with a git credential helper.
Rulesets
As an advanced option, you can use json to create a ruleset specifying in detail how you want repos to be placed, based on who you forked it from, what language it is, and what the owning organization is. See samplerules.json for an example.
Your json file should consist of an array of objects. Each object is required to have a dest field which says what directory matching repos should be stored in. It may have optional owner, language, and org fields. These are python regexes, which if not supplied default to matching everything. The language in a rule is matched against the most common language in the repository, which can be seen on its GitHub page. The owner in a rule is matched against the name of the repository's owner (e.g. "Josh Snider"). If the repository is a fork, the owner is the name of the owner of the repository you forked it from. The org is matched against the organization that owns the repository, which is the empty string if no organization does.
