githose concurrently archives GitHub users' code repositories and gist text!
githose is similar to github_cloner by anantshri on GitHub which is written in
Python. However, that project does not support gists or implement any form of
concurrent programming. githose utilizes background processing for a significant
speedup in multi-tasking, especially when a user's account hosts many hundreds
of repositories (and some which are rather large.)
The table below is a feature comparison between githose and similar tools:
| Software Tool | Colors | Threads | Gists | One-to-many | GUI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| web interface | yes | no | yes | no | yes |
| git(1) CLI | yes | no | no | no | no |
| github_cloner | no | no | no | yes | no |
| githose | yes | yes | yes | yes | no |
