On github.com, go to your profile -> Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal access tokens
Click on Generate a personal access token

Then click on Generate token
After the token is generated, paste it in the script below:
#!/bin/sh dirname=github-backup-$(date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S") mkdir "$dirname" cd $dirname #change these vars: privateToken=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN userName=YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.nebula-preview+json" \ -H "Authorization: token $privateToken" \ "https://api.github.com/user/repos?visibility=all&affiliation=owner&per_page=200" \ | jq -r '.[] | .name' \ | while IFS= read projectName; do curl -H "Authorization: token $privateToken" -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw" -L \ "https://api.github.com/repos/$userName/$projectName/zipball" --output $projectName.zip done echo Done! All files downloaded here: $(pwd)
Then run the script with sh github.sh or ./github.sh (chmod +x github.sh might be needed)
