Copy all repos of an organisation to another account

Question

I'm part of an organisation on github and would like to copy all the repos of that organisation to another regular github account at once.

I thought there would be a tool to help me to do this easily but haven't found one yet. What would be the easiest way to approach this? Thank you

I have tried looking into gh but I'm not sure it's the right tool for it. All I'm trying to do is basically cloning all the repos of the organisation I am a part of to another github account in one go

I have tried looking into gh but I'm not sure it's the right tool for it.

Considering there does not seem to be a native feature allowing for a bulk copy you want, gh is actually a good option.

Depending on the fork policy of your organization and the nature of said repositories (public or private), you should be able to write a script, using the GitHub CLI gh, which would:

• list the repositories of an organization (gh repo list)
• fork it (gh repo fork)

Note that will not copy issues or pull-requests.
