Downloading your favourite repos from Github(Python)

This will clone all your "starred" repos from Github in the current directory.

#!/usr/bin/env python
#pip install gitpython
from git import Repo
import requests
import json
import multiprocessing
import os

try:
    cpus = multiprocessing.cpu_count()
except NotImplementedError:
    cpus = 2

starred_repos = json.loads(requests.get('https://api.github.com/users/kasisnu/starred?page=1&per_page=10000').text)

def my_funky_clone(url):
    dir_name = url.split('/')[-1][:-4]
    try:
        os.mkdir(dir_name)
        Repo.clone_from(url,dir_name)
    except:
        pass

pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=cpus)
pool.map(my_funky_clone, [i['clone_url'] for i in starred_repos])

Remember to change the username or it'll download my favourite repos.
