NAME

       github-backup - backs up data from GitHub

SYNOPSIS

       github-backup [username|organization ...] [options]

DESCRIPTION

       github-backup is a simple tool you run in a git repository you cloned from GitHub. It backs up everything
       GitHub  publishes  about  the repository, including other branches, tags, forks, issues, comments, wikis,
       milestones, pull requests, and watchers.

       Alternately, if you pass it the username of a GitHub user, it will check  out,  and  back  up,  all  that
       user's  repositories, as well as all the repositories that user is watching. (Also works to pass the name
       of an organization using GitHub.)

       By default it runs without logging in to GitHub. To log  in,  set  the  GITHUB_USER  and  GITHUB_PASSWORD
       environment variables. Or, set GITHUB_OAUTH_TOKEN to an oath or personal access token.  However note that
       logging in only works around API rate limiting; it does not allow private repositories to be downloaded.

OPTIONS

       --exclude=username/repository
              When  backing  up  a  user  or an organization, this can be used to exclude backup of a particular
              repository belonging to the user or organization.  This option can  be  specified  any  number  of
              times to exclude more than one repository.

       --no-forks
              Avoid backing up a repository's forks.
