| # Clone Repos | ||||
| # Clone Repos Python App | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| **Prerequisites** | ||||
| This Python app uses the GitHub CLI (`gh`) to clone all repositories from a specified GitHub user account, excluding repositories that are forked or archived. Repositories are cloned into a directory of your choice. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - The `gh` command-line tool must be installed, this will allow you to interact directly with Github in your terminal. | ||||
| ## Features | ||||
| - Filters out forked and archived repositories. | ||||
| - Clones repositories into separate subdirectories. | ||||
| - Easy to use with simple prompts. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Prerequisites | ||||
| 1. **Python 3.6+** | ||||
|    Ensure Python is installed on your system. Check by running: | ||||
|    ```bash | ||||
|    python3 --version | ||||
|    ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 2. **GitHub CLI (`gh`)** | ||||
|    Install the GitHub CLI if not already installed. Follow the [GitHub CLI installation guide](https://cli.github.com/). | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| 3. **Git** | ||||
|    Ensure Git is installed. Check by running: | ||||
|    ```bash | ||||
|    git --version | ||||
|    ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Installation | ||||
| 1. Clone this repository or download the script. | ||||
| 2. Ensure the script is executable: | ||||
|    ```bash | ||||
|    chmod +x clone_repos.py | ||||
|    ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Usage | ||||
| Run the script with Python: | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| python3 clone_repos.py | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ### Steps: | ||||
| 1. Enter your GitHub username when prompted. | ||||
| 2. Specify the directory where repositories should be cloned. | ||||
| 3. The app will fetch all non-forked, non-archived repositories and clone them into subdirectories within the specified folder. | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Example | ||||
| ```bash | ||||
| $ python3 clone_repos.py | ||||
| Enter your GitHub username: exampleuser | ||||
| Enter the directory where you want to clone the repos: /path/to/clone | ||||
| exampleuser/repo1 has been cloned into /path/to/clone/repo1 | ||||
| exampleuser/repo2 has been cloned into /path/to/clone/repo2 | ||||
| All repos have been cloned into /path/to/clone | ||||
| ``` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Dependencies | ||||
| - `gh` (GitHub CLI) | ||||
| - `git` | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| ## Error Handling | ||||
| - If the `gh` CLI is not installed or configured, the script will notify you. | ||||
| - Errors during repository cloning will be logged to the console. | ||||
