githubtakeout - Export and Archive GitHub Repos

I wrote a simple Python CLI for exporting Git repos from GitHub. It clones repos for a given account and compresses them as zip/tar.gz archives. It supports authentication, public/private repos, public/secret gists, and various filtering options.

Available on PyPI.
