github-backup \- backs up data from GitHub
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B github-backup [\fIusername\fP|\fIorganization\fP]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I 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.
.PP
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.)
.PP
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.
