Grab files matching a search specification from Github

Grab all files matching a search specification from Github.

Downloaded files are written to files named user.repository. Existing files with the same name are skipped, which means that you can reasonably efficiently stop and resume a ghrab.

Note that this is a Quick Hack that may break whenever Github changes even minor features on the site.

Usage

Grab all .bash_history files:

./ghrabber.py "path:.bash_history"

Grab all files with extension of .key:

./ghrabber.py "extension:key"
