    No, I've never heard of it. It looks interesting and offers more functionality in a structured way, but it's also unmaintained and hasn't had any activity for a long time.

    I'll use it as an inspiration to implement more features and develop the setup of scripts I've already written into a full-fledged command line tool.

    Thank you for the idea! 🙇 I'm curious what this will lead to.

    After an unexpected need to reset my work machine 😓, and needing to set up my development environment again by hand 🛠️, I decided to create a solution to quickly restore my local git repositories (and associated folder structure) 🔄. I took this opportunity to write two bash scripts that **clone and update all repositories on GitHub belonging to either a user or an organization** 📦. This means that, for example, **with a single command** ⌨️, you can clone **hundreds or thousands of repositories**, with high levels of concurrency (_50 clones in parallel is doable_ 💨). The scripts allow for a configurable clone depth, a limit for the number of repositories cloned, and a level of concurrency that decides how many clones are run in parallel 📈. By running the following command: ``` git-clone-all --owner f3rno64 --limit 200 --jobs 40 --dir ./f3rno64 ``` I was able to clone all **174** personal repositories 📚, with full commit histories and all tags & branches, in **58** seconds ⏱️. I wrote a blog post describing this in more detail [here](https://f3rno64.io/how-i-streamlined-my-github-backup-process) 📝, check it out for a breakdown of the arguments and examples of usage. The GitHub repository is [f3rno64/mass-git-scripts](https://github.com/f3rno64/mass-git-scripts) and the **README** also includes examples and general usage instructions 🗂️. Please check it out and let me know what you think! 💬 I hope you find it useful, and any feedback or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
