Git clone all of a Github user's public repositories (download all repositories)

[rootVIII]

Hmmmm yeah just tried to get all your repos and nothing... hold on looking into it now. I suspect the regex

---

Yup it's the regex... should have a fix in a little bit... sorry for that

---

Okay just got all your repos... had to fix that regex. Also this one should run with Python 2 or 3...

# rootVIII
# Download/clone all of a user's public repositories
# Pass the Github user's username with the -u option
# Usage: python git_clones.py -u <github username>
# Example: python git_clones.py -u rootVIII
