2. Clone a user on a hosted gitlab instance using a token for auth

   ghorg clone <gitlab_username> --clone-type=user --base-url=https://<your.instance.gitlab.com> --scm=gitlab --token=bGVhdmUgYSBjb21tZW50IG9uIGlzc3VlIDY2
   

3. Clone a group on a hosted gitlab instance preserving the directory structure of subgroups

   ghorg clone <gitlab_group> --base-url=https://<your.instance.gitlab.com> --scm=gitlab --preserve-dir

   ghorg clone <gitlab_group>/<gitlab_sub_group> --base-url=https://<your.instance.gitlab.com> --scm=gitlab
   

5. clone all repos that are prefixed with "frontend" into a folder called "design_only" from a group on a hosted gitlab instance
