Is there an easy way to clone all flagged repositories from GitHub?

Question

I'm looking for backups of all my tagged repositories, and I'm looking for an easy way to do this.

Answer 1

That should do it. note that you will need jq

 curl https://api.github.com/users/<user>/starred | jq -r '.[].html_url' | xargs -l git clone 

If you don't want to use jq , you can replace this ugly awk string

 awk '/^ {4}"html_url"/&&$0=$4' FS='"' | 

Answer 2

Yes, here is a simple one-liner (change foo to your username):

 USER=foo; curl "https://api.github.com/users/$USER/starred?per_page=1000" | grep -o ' git@ [^"]*' | xargs -L1 git clone 

^{Add the -P option to xargs to increase speed by setting the number of parallel processes (for example, -P4 = 4 processes).}

^{To raise the limits of GitHub, you can authenticate by specifying your API key.}

Answer 3

If you have no problems with ruby ​​and you can set some gems, you can do it.

gem install octokit git parallel

Then it should do it.

 ruby -e "require 'octokit'; require 'git'; require 'parallel'; Parallel.each(Octokit.starred('__username__'), :in_processes=>4){|s| Git.clone(s[:html_url], s[:name])}" 

For readability:

 require 'octokit' require 'git' require 'parallel' Parallel.each(Octokit.starred('__username__'), :in_processes=>4){|s| Git.clone(s[:html_url], s[:name])} 

However, this seems unnecessary.
