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_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.

OPTIONS

       --exclude=username/repository
              When  backing  up  a  user  or  an organization, this can be used to exclude bacup 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.
