GHAPI-conversion

CLI to replace HTTP GET on GitHub API with clones.

Why

In GitHub Actions the macOS machines share the same IP range, meaning that users will come against the GitHub quota often. actions/runner-images#602

To overcome this issue, use this tool instead of pip install -r. This tool clones rather than GETs:

• https://api.github.com/repos/<org>/<repo>/zipball#egg=<package_name>
• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<org>/<repo>/<branch>/<file>

Additionally, it reuses already cloned repos.
