Is there a simple way to clone all Starred repos from GitHub?

Answer 1

This should do it. Note you will need jq

curl https://api.github.com/users/<user>/starred |
  jq -r '.[].html_url' |
  xargs -l git clone

If you don't want to use jq you can replace with this ugly awk line

awk '/^ {4}"html_url"/&&$0=$4' FS='"' |
