github-clone-all-repos
Node command line utility to clone all of a user’s or organization’s repositories.
Why?
Even though it may not seem as necessary with Github, it would be nice to have a backup tool for all of one’s repositories (without having to clone each repository individually).
Installation
You must have node installed.
Run $ npm install gcar -g.
How To

The base command is
github-clone-all-repos, or gcar, for short.

You must specify a Personal Github Token in order for the script to run
These tokens can be generated at https://github.com/settings/tokens
