# GitHub Cloner
**GitHub Cloner** is a Ruby script to automate cloning all repositories from your GitHub account. It supports both public and private repositories, with a configurable clone path.
## Features
- Fetches all repositories (public and private) from your GitHub account.
- Clones repositories into a specified directory.
- Uses `.env` file for storing sensitive information like GitHub tokens.
## Requirements
- Ruby (>= 2.5)
- Git
- `dotenv` gem for managing environment variables
## Installation
1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/BaseMax/github-cloner.git
cd github-cloner
```
2. Install the required gem:
```bash
gem install dotenv
```
3. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env`:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
4. Edit the `.env` file to include your GitHub personal access token and desired clone path:
```
GITHUB_TOKEN=your-personal-access-token
CLONE_PATH=./../
```
Replace your-personal-access-token with your GitHub token.
Set `CLONE_PATH` to your desired directory for cloning (default is `./`).
Note: To generate a personal access token, visit GitHub Token Settings.
## Using
```bash
ruby github_cloner.rb
```
The script will:
- Fetch all your repositories from GitHub.
- Clone them into the directory specified by `CLONE_PATH`.
### Example Output
