Output to a zip

[keyboardkomando]

I tried to do some searching, however I was unable to find how to do this. I wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions on this. I am trying to get the output of this program to end up in a zip file. Thank you

import base64
from github import Github
from pprint import pprint
from shutil import make_archive
from zipfile import ZipFile
file = "github-repo"  # zip file name
directory = "output"

# Github username
name = input()
username = name
# pygithub object
g = Github()
# get that user by username
user = g.get_user(username)

for repo in user.get_repos():
    print(repo)
make_archive(file, "zip", directory)  # zipping the directory

Interesting task. I did it because it could be useful:

import shutil
from pathlib import Path
from subprocess import run, DEVNULL
from github import Github


OUTPUT_DIR = Path("output")
username = input("Please enter your GitHub username: ")

if not username.strip():
    raise RuntimeError("An empty username is not allowed")

git = Github()
git_user = git.get_user(username)

# The method Github.get_user returns Repos
# You can access the clone_url for example
# https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/github_objects/Repository.html#github.Repository.Repository.clone_url
for repo in git_user.get_repos():
    # creating directory structure: output/username/repo.name
    repo_dir = Path(OUTPUT_DIR, username, repo.name)
    # creating directory structure: output/username/repo.name
    # ignore existing directories, otherwise it fails if the directory
    # exists already
    repo_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    print("Cloning", repo.name)
    # using git command to clone the repos
    # redirecting outputs to devnull
    # no exception handling, it may fail and you don't see why
    run(["git", "clone", repo.clone_url, repo_dir], stderr=DEVNULL, stdout=DEVNULL)


print("Creating ZIP archive")
archive = shutil.make_archive(
    OUTPUT_DIR / username, "zip", root_dir=OUTPUT_DIR / username
)
print(f"Archive {archive} has been created")
print("Deleting old files")
shutil.rmtree(OUTPUT_DIR / username)

The function shutil.make_archive is hard to use. I needed 4 tries to get the correct directory structure inside the zip file.

Thank you. That was well noted and works very well. That will be a huge help moving forward with other projects. Thanks again
