githose v0.9.8a

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.)

Features

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
