git-getter

A utility to get all repositories for a specific user/organization

Installation

git-getter is available on Npm. You can install it globally with a simple command.

npm install -g git-getter

How to Use

Run git-getter from the command line and provide the name of the user you want the projects to be cloned from and the directory you want them to be placed in.

git-getter --username <user> [--targetPath <path>] [--ssh]

The targetPath is optional, not supplying which will clone projects to the current directory.

For example, running

git-getter --username myTerminal --targetPath ~/_repositories

will download all the repositories owned by the user myTerminal on GitHub at ~/_repositories.

The optional switch --shh can be used to clone projects using ssh. Note that this needs an SSH key to be present on the system.
