bulk-clone with gh + jq

ROUTE=$([ "$1" == "mine" ] && echo "user/repos?affiliation=owner" || echo "${1}s/${2}/repos")

gh api $ROUTE --paginate | jq '.[].full_name' | xargs -L1 gh repo clone

Any ideas, how to clone repo per org folder instead of having all clones in one folder.

perhaps check the gh repo clone options: https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_repo_clone

Nice hint, thanks.
