Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

github-dl

v1.0.1

Published

Mass clone github repos

Downloads

8

Readme

Clone all repos from Github (including private)

Installation

npm install -g github-dl

But! You do not have to install it, you can use it without installation:

npx github-dl username

Usage

Clone all repos (including private) from user wires into folder repos:

github-dl wires -G -d repos

Options:

  • --destination, -d set destination folder, will be created if doesn't exist
  • --dotGit, -G clone repositories as [name].git instead of just name

When you run the command, it will ask for your github credentials (to get the list of repositories)

? Username wires
? Password ************************
? 2FA 123456

(ps. if you get a 2FA that starts with one or more zeros, this won't work. Wait until the next one)

It now gets the list of repositories and stores them in two files in the target folder.

  1. repo-data.json all information and meta data for each repo
  2. repo-urls.txt just a list of git URLs for each repo

To download all the repos (assuming we ran with -d repos), run

cat repos/repo-urls.txt | xargs -n2 -P8 git clone

(this will run 8 processes in parallel, one git clone per line of the file)
