This is a simple bash script for cloning all the repositories under a GitHub user. if you're using a GitHub personal access token with repo privilege then you can clone the private repos too. Also, please note that the bash script is working with GitHub API and forked repos can't be able to clone. So, I will be adding the same on future releases.
- Easy to clone all the repos under a GitHub User.
- Working with GitHub API.
- Private repos can clone with personal GitHub Token.
- GitHub Token (if you need your personal/repos not mandatory)
Private Repos Cloning you guys need a personal GitHub Token from your repo so please be follow the below article and create the same from your end. (Please make sure we need repo privilege)
yum install -y git
apt install -y git
pkg upgrade
pkg install git
git clone https://github.com/yousafkhamza/GitHub_Cloner_Bash_Script.git
cd GitHub_Cloner_Bash_Script
chmod +x cloner.sh
/bin/bash cloner.sh <USERNAME> <If you have a token please enter your GITHUB TOKEN HERE>
Cloning without GitHub API token so please see the below screenshots with and without token
