Dolly

• npm: npm install node-dolly -g

Getting Started

Dolly allows you to easily clone all of your repositories in one fell swoop. After installing Dolly globally with npm install node-dolly -g you will have the dolly command in your $PATH.

First you can try to run dolly without any parameters, and it should tell you that it requires a username – your GitHub username, or in the spirit of open-source, somebody else's GitHub username.

Therefore run the command dolly Wildhoney to clone all my repositories – substituting Wildhoney if you really must.

By default Dolly will attempt to clone the repositories via the ssh_url property in the API response – however there may be cases where you wish to use a different URL – by specifying the --property parameter you can choose another property to use for the cloning: dolly Wildhoney --property clone_url.

You may wish to clone the repositories of your organisation rather than user, in which case you can supply the --organisation option.
