GitDump is a tool created to enable you to download either specific repositories or the complete repository set associated with a GitHub account. Whether the account is public, private, or affiliated with an organization, GitDump simplifies the process of creating an archive. This empowers you to preserve your own projects or those of others.
This application is compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows operating systems. To obtain the binaries, you can visit the releases page at https://github.com/mrauer/gitdump/releases. Alternatively, if you're using Linux or Mac, you can simply copy and paste the provided commands.
curl -Lo gitdump https://github.com/mrauer/gitdump/releases/download/v0.3.0/gitdump_0.3.0_linux_amd64
&& chmod +x gitdump
&& sudo mv gitdump /usr/local/bin
curl -Lo gitdump https://github.com/mrauer/gitdump/releases/download/v0.3.0/gitdump_0.3.0_darwin_amd64
&& chmod +x gitdump
&& sudo mv gitdump /usr/local/bin
After successfully running the software on your machine, the next step is configuration.
Start by specifying the directory where repositories will be downloaded on your machine:
gitdump config path
Next, obtain an authentication token for GitHub.
Navigate to your GitHub account, go to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens.
Click on Generate new token, ensure the repo scope is selected (Full control of private repositories).
Copy the token and use the following command:
gitdump config token <github_token>
