NAME

       github-backup - backs up data from GitHub

SYNOPSIS

       github-backup [username|organization]

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_USER  and  GITHUB_PASSWORD
       environment  variables.  However  note  that  this only works around API rate limiting, it does not allow
       private repositories to be downloaded.
