ghorg

ghorg allows you to quickly clone all of an orgs, or users repos into a single directory. This can be useful in many situations including

1. Searching an orgs/users codebase with ack, silver searcher, grep etc..
2. Bash scripting
3. Creating backups
4. Onboarding
5. Performing Audits

When running ghorg a second time, all local changes in your *_ghorg directory will be overwritten by whats on GitHub. If you are working out of this directory, make sure you rename it before running a second time otherwise all of you changes will be lost.

Setup

Homebrew

optional

$ brew update
$ brew upgrade git

required

$ brew install gabrie30/utils/ghorg
$ mkdir -p $HOME/ghorg
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gabrie30/ghorg/master/sample-conf.yaml > $HOME/ghorg/conf.yaml

Golang

$ go get -u github.com/gabrie30/ghorg
$ cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/gabrie30/ghorg
$ make install
# Update conf if neeed
$ vi ~/ghorg/conf.yaml
$ go install

Use

$ ghorg clone org-you-want-to-clone
$ ghorg clone user-you-want-to-clone
$ ghorg clone --help

ghorg defaults to master branch however, for gitflows you can run on develop by setting GHORG_BRANCH=develop or similar

Configuration

Configuration can be set in two ways. The first is in $HOME/ghorg/conf.yaml. This file will be created from the .sample-conf.yaml and copied into $HOME/ghorg/conf.yaml. The second is setting flags via the cli, run $ ghorg clone --help for a list of flags

Default GitHub Token Used

$ security find-internet-password -s github.com  | grep "acct" | awk -F\" '{ print $4 }'

If running this does not return the correct key you will need to generate a token via GithHub and add it to your $HOME/ghorg/conf.yaml, or see Troubleshooting section below.

To view all other default environment variables see .sample-conf.yaml

Auth through SSO

• If org is behind SSO a normal token will not work. You will need to add SSO to the Github token

Troubleshooting

• Make sure your $ git --version is >= 2.19.0
• You may need to increase your ulimits if cloning a large org
• If cloning via HTTPS make sure the osxkeychain has your github access token. This can be determined by running the security command above.
  • If this command does not return anything either switch to cloning via ssh (update your $HOME/ghorg/conf.yaml) or set it up by following this GitHub Documentation
  • If your GitHub account is behind 2fa follow this StackOverflow Post or this Github Documentation as noted in comments be sure to use your token as your username and give a blank password.
