The package can be used to backup an *entire* organization or repository, including issues and wikis in the most appropriate format (clones for wikis, json files for issues).

Authentication
==============

Note: Password-based authentication will fail if you have two-factor authentication enabled.

Using the Keychain on Mac OSX
=============================
Note: On Mac OSX the token can be stored securely in the user's keychain. To do this:

1. Open Keychain from "Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access"
2. Add a new password item using "File -> New Password Item"
3. Enter a name in the "Keychain Item Name" box. You must provide this name to github-backup using the --keychain-name argument.
4. Enter an account name in the "Account Name" box, enter your Github username as set above. You must provide this name to github-backup using the --keychain-account argument.
5. Enter your Github personal access token in the "Password" box

Note:  When you run github-backup, you will be asked whether you want to allow "security" to use your confidential information stored in your keychain. You have two options:

1. **Allow:** In this case you will need to click "Allow" each time you run `github-backup`
2. **Always Allow:** In this case, you will not be asked for permission when you run `github-backup` in future. This is less secure, but is required if you want to schedule `github-backup` to run automatically

About Git LFS
=============

When you use the "--lfs" option, you will need to make sure you have Git LFS installed.

Instructions on how to do this can be found on https://git-lfs.github.com.

Examples
========

Backup all repositories::

    export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
    github-backup WhiteHouse --token $ACCESS_TOKEN --organization --output-directory /tmp/white-house --repositories

Backup a single organization repository with everything else (wiki, pull requests, comments, issues etc)::

    export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
    ORGANIZATION=docker
    REPO=cli
    # e.g. git@github.com:docker/cli.git
    github-backup $ORGANIZATION -P -t $ACCESS_TOKEN -o . --all -O -R $REPO
