reposync

A script that syncs repos for a GitHub user or organization into a folder on your computer.

Motivation

As part of a GitHub organization, keeping up with new repos can be difficult. If repos are created, deleted, or renamed, the state of your local development environment falls of date.

reposync solves this by cloning all repos for a GitHub user or organization into a single folder. If the state of repos in GitHub changes, running reposync will clone any new repos and move any deleted repos into an archive folder. reposync only archives local copies of a repo, and it never modifies repos that you've already cloned, so there is no risk of losing data.

Install

Download the latest release from the releases page, extract the tar.gz, and put the binary in your path.
