Github Syncer. Clones or Pulls all GitHub repos (owned and watched).

Software is beautiful. I love writing code with Python. Here are some of my creations:

• httpbin.org: A helpful request / response service, powered by Flask.
• requests: An elegant and simple HTTP library for Python, built for human beings.
• requests-html: Scraping the web as simply and intuitively as possible.
• pipenv: A tool that aims to bring the best of all packaging worlds to the Python world.
• responder: Experimental asynchronous web framework with novel concepts & customer ideas.
• records: A simple & powerful library for making raw SQL queries to most relational databases.
• maya: A UTC-first datetime library that enforces best practices and eases cognitive overhead.
• pep8.org: An easier-to-parse presentation of the PEP 8 style guide for Python code.
• tablib: A format-agnostic tabular dataset library for Python
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python (repo).

ghsync's Issues

can it be used on windows?

Installation problem. Possibly because of deprecated gihub2

Integrate Clint

• argument parsing
• terminal colors / indents

add backup command

$ git bundle create reponame.gitbundle master

Support for github3

ghsync currently depends on Github's v2 API and "simple API tokens". But this is now gone as described here:

https://github.com/blog/1090-github-api-moving-on

as a result, ghsync no longer works. It could work if it were made to use github3. Looks like the author of ghsync also has open sourced a github3 module for Python which may be a candidate for upgrade:

https://github.com/kennethreitz/python-github3

The idea would be to remove the dependency on git config github.token and instead use the OAuth tokens created by github3.

ENV Configuration

Add 'GHSYNC_DIR' env configuration.

Submodule support

Feature request: It'd be handy to have submodules be automatically inited and updated. (Perhaps only with a flag passed?)

Automatically add upstream remote of forks

But only if they are new. Or the --upstream flag is passed.
