bash script for cloning all repositories of an github organization (clone-org.sh)
You need to adjust the GITHUB_ORGANIZATION to your needs.
touch clone-org.sh chmod +x clone-org.sh
You need to load your SSH KEY,
else you will run into the following error:
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly.
Take care!

This doesn’t work if the organization has so many repositories that they are split onto several pages.
Github adds a Link header then, e.g. in https://api.github.com/orgs/pear/repos
