Your website is currently hosted on GitHub Pages, but you're moving away. Maybe you want to deploy TLS (good on you!), or maybe GitHub's URL construction is too inflexible for you.
However, when you move your site to a different server, suddenly all your links break. You find yourself manually git clone
ing all of your repositories just to get a usable website!
gh-pages-bootstrap
is a small utility to automate this for you. It queries the GitHub API and then reconstructs exactly what you'd see on GitHub Pages on your local disk. Presto!
npm install gh-pages-bootstrap
Or as a CLI tool:
npm install -g gh-pages-bootstrap
As a module:
var bootstrap = require('gh-pages-bootstrap');
var user = 'someone'; // GitHub user
var token = 'a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0'; // GitHub OAuth2 token
ghpages(user, token, function(err) {
throw err;
});
On the commandline:
$ gh-pages-bootstrap
This will prompt you for your GitHub username and password. If you run it a second time, it will use the cached OAuth2 token.
