exit status 128

Awesome tool. One of the few that works with large GitHub orgs.

However, I received exit status 128 on about 1/3 of repos when attempting to clone ~1200 repos. I wonder if github is rate limiting my user access token?

If I re-run the tool it picks up a few more each time, so I'm wondering if the rate limiting could be avoided by slowing down the request rate.

Just my two cents -- thanks for making something useful!

Custom github endpoint?

My companies github api endpoint is not the standard one, is it configurable?
