Every time I set up a new machine or onboarded to a project, the same thing happened.
Open terminal. <code>git clone repo-one</code>. Wait. <code>git clone repo-two</code>. Wait. Repeat five more times. Check if I missed anything. Realize I missed one. Clone those.
It’s not hard. It’s just pointless friction — the kind that adds up and quietly kills your focus.
I have multiple GitHub organizations. Every time I needed everything local, I was doing this dance manually. No good reason for it.
So I built orgclone — a CLI that clones your entire GitHub org or GitLab group in one command.
<pre><code># install
npm install -g @cj-ways/orgclone

# clone everything
orgclone clone my-org
</code></pre>

Things To Know

A developer built 'orgclone', a CLI tool that clones all repositories from a GitHub organization or GitLab group in a single command, eliminating the repetitive manual process of cloning repos one by one when setting up a new machine or onboarding to a project. Install via npm with `npm install -g @cj-ways/orgclone` and run `orgclone clone my-org`.

I got tired of cloning GitHub repos one by one. So I built a CLI.
