./github-migrator --help

Instructions

Commands

Help with instructions

./github-migrator --help

Backup all repositories

./github-migrator --backup

Note: Do not run 'backup' more than once to avoid duplicates.

Check status of backups

./github-migrator --status

Download all exported backups to working directory

./github-migrator --download

Delete all current backup archives from Github.com

./github-migrator --delete

This will delete all current backup migration archives from github.com end, useful to clean up after download, or to start anew. Repositories can still show as exported but without archive urls while running --status. Alternately migration archives are automatically deleted after seven days.

Roadmap

1. Add restore commands.
2. Add clean up of archives on github end after backups. #done
3. Accept token and username as arguments.
