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 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 time to exclude more than one repository.

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