Is there a bare-bones working example somewhere? about python-github-backup HOT 6 CLOSED

I'd love a documentation pull request:

github-backup WhiteHouse \                # for the whitehouse github user
    --organization \                      # which is a github organization, not a regular user
    --repositories \                      # backup the repositories
    --output-directory /tmp/white-house \ # to a tmp folder (will be created if it doesn't exist)
    --token $ACCESS_TOKEN                 # with the specified access token

from python-github-backup.

always reports 'too few arguments', can you show a working example? (the above doesn't work)

from python-github-backup.

That example worked fine for me, and it seems that @afilbert confirmed it.

export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
github-backup WhiteHouse --token $ACCESS_TOKEN --organization --output-directory /tmp/white-house --repositories
Create output directory /private/tmp/white-house
Backing up user WhiteHouse to /private/tmp/white-house
Retrieving repositories
Filtering repositories
Backing up repositories
^C

Seems to work fine.

Would you be interested in making a PR to add that example to our documentation?
