git-stache

Syncs all your GitHub repos (public + private) to a local folder. Clones new repos, pulls existing ones.

Requirements

• A GitHub PAT needs to be already stored in git's credential helper. If you haven't done this yet:

  git config --global credential.helper store
  git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/<any-private-repo>.git
  # enter username and PAT when prompted

Run without cloning this repo

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ragibalasad/git-stache/main/gitstache.sh | bash

Or download it first if you want to read it before running:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ragibalasad/git-stache/main/gitstache.sh -o gitstache.sh
chmod +x github-sync.sh
./gitstache.sh

Notes

• Uses git pull --ff-only — won't create merge commits, fails on diverged branches instead.
• Token isn't written to disk or put in any URL.
• Override storage path for one run: GH_SYNC_BASE_DIR=/path ./github-sync.sh
