gitrc

A simple command line utility to write all repos from Github for a given user or organization to standard output. Github credentials are optional. But, providing username and password increases the number of repos you can download at one time due to Github's rate limiting policy. To use gitrc in shell scripts the password can be passed via standard input, for better security practices.
