# This python script allows you to get all public and private repos of a given user (either by their name or by their OAuth token) | |
# | |
# For me, the intended use of this example is to use it backup all my repos to my machine (just in case :p) | |
# | |
# Usage: | |
# | |
# First install dependency using command: pip3 install pygithub3 --user | |
# | |
# Now copy paste your github token at line 15 as an argument (you CAN also use it like this: ....Github("my_github_username", "my_github_password") | |
# | |
# run this script like this: python3 get-private-repos-from-github.py | |
# | |
# and the output should be, that it'll print all the clone urls for the repos a given user has. | |
# | |
# you can do a lot more stuff with this, just read the pygithub3 docs. | |

def main(): | |

This script at it's most basic level just prints the
clone_url
of all repos (including organization and the user's private repos as well).A lot more can be done but this example intends to stay basic. Maybe you want to just do a
git clone url
or something like that.
