Github archiver
Github archiver is a small tool to batch download repository archives. It may be useful for downloading old repositories for organisations reaching their private repos limit
Installation
You need to download requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
Usage
To download the repos you need to pass them as parameteres:
python github_archiver.py --u aniav --r myrepo,myotherrepo
If you want to download private repos you need to generate a private access token here: https://github.com/settings/tokens and use it along with your username
python github_archiver.py --u aniav --t my_token --r myrepo,myotherrepo
If the repo you require does not belong to the user put in the request, but to another user or organisation you need to pass it in the --o param:
python github_archiver.py --u aniav --t my_token --r myrepo,myotherrepo --o 10clouds
