Backup all Github & Gitlab repositories as .zip files 

## Github Backup

### Create an Access Token

On github.com, go to your profile -> Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal access tokens

Click on Generate a personal access token 

**Name**: *backup* (it doesn't matter)

**Scopes**: *repo* & *read:user* 

Then click on Generate token

### Run the backup script

After the token is generated, paste it in the script below:

```sh

#!/bin/sh

dirname=github-backup-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")

mkdir "$dirname"

cd $dirname

#change these vars:

privateToken=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

userName=YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.nebula-preview+json" \

    -H "Authorization: token $privateToken" \

    "https://api.github.com/user/repos?visibility=all&affiliation=owner&per_page=200" \

    | jq -r '.[] | .name' \

    | while IFS= read projectName; do

        curl -H "Authorization: token $privateToken" -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw" -L \

         "https://api.github.com/repos/$userName/$projectName/zipball" --output $projectName.zip

     done

echo Done! All files downloaded here: $(pwd)

```

Then run the script with `sh github.sh` or `./github.sh` (`chmod +x github.sh` might be needed)

## Gitlab Backup

### Create an Access Token

On gitlab.com, go to your profile -> Settings -> Access Tokens and create a new Access Token

**Name**: *backup* (it doesn't matter)

**Expires at**: tomorrow (or later, if you want to reuse it)

**Scopes**: *read_api* & *read_repository* 

Then click on Create personal access token

### Run the backup script

After the token is generated, paste it in the script below:

```sh

#!/bin/sh

dirname=gitlab-backup-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S")

mkdir "$dirname"

cd $dirname

privateToken=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN

userName=YOUR_GITLAB_USERNAME

curl --header "Private-Token: $privateToken" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users/$userName/projects" \

   | jq -r '.[] | .id, .name' \

   | while IFS= read projectId; read projectName; do

        curl --header "Private-Token: $privateToken" "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/$projectId/repository/archive.zip" --output $projectName.zip

    done

echo Done! All files downloaded here: $(pwd)

```

Then run the script with `sh gitlab.sh` or `./gitlab.sh` (`chmod +x gitlab.sh` might be needed)
