Overview

Given a list of GitHub users or orgs, caches all the GitHub metadata and makes searching and cloning repos super fast.

What is it

~ clone blog   
[Info]    [0]: bhudgens/blog
select 0
[Info]    Cloning into 'blog'...

Loading the Cache

To authenticate with this tool, create a personal access token with 'repo' access. (You will want to make sure the key is authorized for SSO if you work at a company with SSO enabled.) Use your normal username and the access key as your password.

If you want to use your normal credentials but you do not have 2FA activated - you can hit enter at the 2FA prompt and leave it blank.

Help:

~ clone -h
Usage:
  clone <repo>
  clone [options]

Options:
  -c --config                      Display the Environment
  -d --debug                       Enable Debug Log Output
  -f --forceCacheUpdate            Purge the current repo cache
  -h --help                        Show this help
  -s --search <repo>               Search for repo named $repo
  -v --verbose                     Enable Verbose Log Output
