📦 GitHub Org Repo Migrator (via SSH or HTTPS)

Easily migrate or duplicate all repositories from one GitHub organization to another using SSH or HTTPS. This Bash script is designed for engineers, DevOps, and org admins who want to bulk clone and push GitHub repositories from a source org to a target org, preserving all branches and tags using git clone --mirror.

✨ Features

• ✅ Interactive CLI prompts
• 🔄 Supports SSH or HTTPS cloning
• 📥 Clone all or select repositories
• 🔐 Preserves full Git history (branches + tags)
• 🧼 Optional cleanup of temporary files
• 📦 Works seamlessly with gh (GitHub CLI)

🔧 Requirements

• bash

• git

• GitHub CLI (gh) (must be authenticated)

  gh auth login

• git with SSH or HTTPS access configured

• Access to both source and target GitHub orgs

🚀 Usage

1. Clone this repo:

   git clone git@github.com:yourusername/github-org-repo-migrator.git
   cd github-org-repo-migrator

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x clone-github-repo.sh

3. Run the script:

   ./clone-github-repo.sh

4. Follow the interactive prompts:

   • Source organization
   • Target organization
   • SSH or HTTPS
   • Clone all or selected repositories
   • Cleanup confirmation

🛠 Example Workflow

./clone-github-repo.sh

🔹 Enter the source organization (e.g., org-x):
org-x
🔹 Enter the target organization (e.g., org-y):
org-y
🔹 Use SSH or HTTPS? (Enter 'ssh' or 'https'):
ssh
🔹 Do you want to clone all repos or selected repos only? (Enter 'all' or 'selected'):
all
...
🧼 Do you want to delete the temporary cloned repositories in 'temp_repos'? (yes/no):
yes

⚠️ Notes

• git clone --mirror clones all branches, tags, and refs
• The script uses gh repo create to create new private repos in the target org
• You'll need proper permissions to both orgs for repo creation and cloning
