NAME

github-backup - backs up data from GitHub

SYNOPSIS

github-backup [username|organization]

DESCRIPTION

github-backup is a simple tool you run in a git repository you cloned from GitHub. It backs up everything GitHub publishes about the repository, including other branches, tags, forks, issues, comments, wikis, milestones, pull requests, and watchers.
Alternately, if you pass it the username of a GitHub user, it will check out, and back up, all that user's repositories. (Also works to pass the name of an organization using GitHub.)
