A utility for synchronising repositories hosted on GitHub.com
Clone the repository and install dependencies (requires bundler)
$ bundle installMake git-even a Git command
Add the repository directory to your PATH
$ echo "export PATH=$PWD:\$PATH" >>~/.zshrcRun git-even with --help to see all available options
The only mandatory argument is --key, or short -k to specify a GitHub Personal Access Token
You will need to have a token with a minimum of repo permission
This can be given directly -k ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, piped to stdin cat keyfile | git even -k - or when prompted
git even -k -
Please input your key:Repositories are cloned to folders based on the owner login name by default into the current directory
Pass --path to override the base directory
Forks are not cloned by default, pass --forks to include them
By default if the login the token belongs to is not a member of an organisation then only the login's repositories are cloned
If the token's login does belong to at least one organisation then you will be prompted to choose which login to clone
You can automate this by passing either --login or --org an-org, but obviously not both!
$ cat my-ghp-token | git even --key - --login --path ~/repos

Syncing login repositories
