aprescott / gist-backup Goto Github PK

Some of my gists get forked and modified by other people, and I add all the forks as remotes manually so I can see which changes to incorporate into mine. It would be nice if this tool could automatically backup clones of all of them as well (or, I guess, only the modified ones) with username as the remote name.

For example:

https://gist.github.com/endolith/250860/forks

has even more forks than the ones I previously added by hand:

i'm trying:

#!/bin/bash
curl -u %myuser%:%mypass% \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -X POST \
  -d '{"scopes":["gist"], "note": "gist backup"}' \
  https://api.github.com/authorizations

but I get this:

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest"
}

what am I doing wrong?
