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.
