100 downloads only about githubcloner HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi @maddinthegreat

If you're downloading more than ~50 repos, you should use a Github token in case Github rate-limited anonymous users.

This behavior should occur. Can you please elaborate more on how did occur? Also what do you think the root cause of the issue?

Hello mazen160 ,

I logged in into github and generated a personal access token. Problem still remains. Do you have hint ?:-)

Hi @maddinthegreat
I don't know why this is happening to be honest. Maybe send me an account that you're testing, and I will try to reproduce the bug.

Best,

Hi @maddinthegreat
I have tested and confirmed the issue, it's not related to GithubCloner. This issue relies on Github API (maybe a bug, or a feature to restrict downloads).

I have sent API requests manually, and Github only returned 100 repos. Which explains the cause why GithubCloner returns; because Github at the moment returns 100 repos only.

The API documentation do not mention this part: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#list-your-repositories

I will be closing this ticket from my side since there isn't much can done to overcome the issue. Hopefully Github would fix this soon.

Thanks,
