+#   ACTION: [AUDIENCE:] COMMIT_MSG [@TAG ...]
+#
+# Description
+#
+#   ACTION is one of 'chg', 'fix', 'new'
+#
+#       Is WHAT the change is about.
+#
+#       'chg' is for refactor, small improvement, cosmetic changes...
+#       'fix' is for bug fixes
+#       'new' is for new features, big improvement
+#
+#   SUBJECT is optional and one of 'dev', 'usr', 'pkg', 'test', 'doc'
+#
+#       Is WHO is concerned by the change.
+#
+#       'dev'  is for developpers (API changes, refactors...)
+#       'usr'  is for final users (UI changes)
+#       'pkg'  is for packagers   (packaging changes)
+#       'test' is for testers     (test only related changes)
+#       'doc'  is for doc guys    (doc only changes)
+#
+#   COMMIT_MSG is ... well ... the commit message itself.
+#
+#   TAGs are additionnal adjective as 'refactor' 'minor' 'cosmetic'
+#
+#       'refactor' is obviously for refactoring code only
+#       'minor' is for a very meaningless change (a typo, adding a comment)

+#
+# Example:
+#
+#   new: usr: support of bazaar implemented
+#   chg: re-indentend some lines @cosmetic
+#   new: dev: updated code to be compatible with last version of killer lib.
+#   fix: pkg: updated year of licence coverage.
+#   new: test: added a bunch of test around user usability of feature X.
+#   fix: typo in spelling my name in comment. @minor

+-------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+- Always clone with OAuth token when provided. [Samantha Baldwin]
+
+  Github Enterprise servers with 'Anonymous Git read access' disabled
+  cause `git ls-remote` to fail (128) for a repo's `clone_url`. Using the
+  OAuth token when provided allows cloning private AND public repos when
+  Anonymous Git read access is disabled.
+
+Other
+~~~~~
+- Change broken link to a fork to a working link to upstream. [Rick van
+  Schijndel]
+
+
+0.37.2 (2021-01-02)
+-------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+- Use distutils.core on error. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+
+0.37.1 (2021-01-02)
+-------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+- Use twine for releases. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]
+
+  The old method of releasing to pypi broke for whatever reason and switching to a supported toolchain is easier than debugging the old one.
+
+  Additionally:
+
+  - Update gitchangelog
+  - Fix license entry
+  - Set long description type
+  - Gitignore the temporary readme file
+
+
+0.37.0 (2021-01-02)
+-------------------
+- Add support for python 3.7 and 3.8 in package classifiers. [Albert
+  Wang]
+- Remove support for python 2.7 in package classifiers. [Albert Wang]
+- Remove python 2 specific import logic. [Albert Wang]
+- Remove python 2 specific logic. [Albert Wang]
+- Add ability to skip archived repositories. [Gary Moon]
+
+
+0.36.0 (2020-08-29)
+-------------------
+- Add flake8 instructions to readme. [Albert Wang]
+- Fix regex string. [Albert Wang]
+- Fix whitespace issues. [Albert Wang]
+- Do not use bare excepts. [Albert Wang]
+- Add .circleci/config.yml. [Albert Wang]
+- Include --private flag in example. [wouter bolsterlee]
+
+  By default, private repositories are not included. This is surprising.
+  It took me a while to figure this out, and making that clear in the
+  example can help others to be aware of that.
+
+
+0.35.0 (2020-08-05)
+-------------------
+- Make API request throttling optional. [Samantha Baldwin]
+
+
+0.34.0 (2020-07-24)
+-------------------
+- Add logic for transforming gist repository urls to ssh. [Matt Fields]
+
+
+0.33.0 (2020-04-13)
+-------------------
+- Add basic API request throttling. [Enrico Tröger]
+
+  A simple approach to throttle API requests and so keep within the rate
+  limits of the API. Can be enabled with "--throttle-limit" to specify
+  when throttling should start.
+  "--throttle-pause" defines the time to sleep between further API
+  requests.
+
+
+0.32.0 (2020-04-13)
+-------------------
+- Add timestamp to log messages. [Enrico Tröger]
+
+
+0.31.0 (2020-02-25)
+-------------------
+- #123 update: changed --as-app 'help' description. [ethan]
+- #123: Support Authenticating As Github Application. [ethan]
+
+
+0.29.0 (2020-02-14)
+-------------------
+- #50 update: keep main() in bin. [ethan]
+- #50 - refactor for friendlier import. [ethan]
+
+
+0.28.0 (2020-02-03)
+-------------------
+- Remove deprecated (and removed) git lfs flags. [smiley]
+
+  "--tags" and "--force" were removed at some point from "git lfs fetch". This broke our backup script.
+
+
+0.27.0 (2020-01-22)
+-------------------
+- Fixed script fails if not installed from pip. [Ben Baron]
+
+  At the top of the script, the line from github_backup import __version__ gets the script's version number to use if the script is called with the -v or --version flags. The problem is that if the script hasn't been installed via pip (for example I cloned the repo directly to my backup server), the script will fail due to an import exception.
+
+  Also presumably it will always use the version number from pip even if running a modified version from git or a fork or something, though this does not fix that as I have no idea how to check if it's running the pip installed version or not. But at least the script will now work fine if cloned from git or just copied to another machine.
+
+  closes https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup/issues/141
+- Fixed macOS keychain access when using Python 3. [Ben Baron]
+
+  Python 3 is returning bytes rather than a string, so the string concatenation to create the auth variable was throwing an exception which the script was interpreting to mean it couldn't find the password. Adding a conversion to string first fixed the issue.
+- Public repos no longer include the auth token. [Ben Baron]
+
+  When backing up repositories using an auth token and https, the GitHub personal auth token is leaked in each backed up repository. It is included in the URL of each repository's git remote url.
+
+  This is not needed as they are public and can be accessed without the token and can cause issues in the future if the token is ever changed, so I think it makes more sense not to have the token stored in each repo backup. I think the token should only be "leaked" like this out of necessity, e.g. it's a private repository and the --prefer-ssh option was not chosen so https with auth token was required to perform the clone.
+- Fixed comment typo. [Ben Baron]
+- Switched log_info to log_warning in download_file. [Ben Baron]
+- Crash when an release asset doesn't exist. [Ben Baron]
+
+  Currently, the script crashes whenever a release asset is unable to download (for example a 404 response). This change instead logs the failure and allows the script to continue. No retry logic is enabled, but at least it prevents the crash and allows the backup to complete. Retry logic can be implemented later if wanted.
+
+  closes https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup/issues/129
+- Moved asset downloading loop inside the if block. [Ben Baron]
+- Separate release assets and skip re-downloading. [Ben Baron]
+
+  Currently the script puts all release assets into the same folder called `releases`. So any time 2 release files have the same name, only the last one downloaded is actually saved. A particularly bad example of this is MacDownApp/macdown where all of their releases are named `MacDown.app.zip`. So even though they have 36 releases and all 36 are downloaded, only the last one is actually saved.
+
+  With this change, each releases' assets are now stored in a fubfolder inside `releases` named after the release name. There could still be edge cases if two releases have the same name, but this is still much safer tha the previous behavior.
+
+  This change also now checks if the asset file already exists on disk and skips downloading it. This drastically speeds up addiotnal syncs as it no longer downloads every single release every single time. It will now only download new releases which I believe is the expected behavior.
+
+  closes https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup/issues/126
+- Added newline to end of file. [Ben Baron]
+- Improved gitignore, macOS files and IDE configs. [Ben Baron]
+
+  Ignores the annoying hidden macOS files .DS_Store and ._* as well as the IDE configuration folders for contributors using the popular Visual Studio Code and Atom IDEs (more can be added later as needed).
+
+
+0.26.0 (2019-09-23)

+- Workaround gist clone in `--prefer-ssh` mode. [Vladislav Yarmak]
+- Create PULL_REQUEST.md. [Jose Diaz-Gonzalez]

+Usage Details
+=============
 
 Authentication
-==============
+--------------
+
+**Password-based authentication** will fail if you have two-factor authentication enabled, and will `be deprecated <https://github.blog/2023-03-09-raising-the-bar-for-software-security-github-2fa-begins-march-13/>`_ by 2023 EOY.
+
+``--username`` is used for basic password authentication and separate from the positional argument ``USER``, which specifies the user account you wish to back up.
+
+**Classic tokens** are `slightly less secure <https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#personal-access-tokens-classic>`_ as they provide very coarse-grained permissions.
+
+If you need authentication for long-running backups (e.g. for a cron job) it is recommended to use **fine-grained personal access token** ``-f TOKEN_FINE``.
+
+
+Fine Tokens
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can "generate new token", choosing the repository scope by selecting specific repos or all repos. On Github this is under *Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal access tokens -> Fine-grained Tokens*
+
+Customise the permissions for your use case, but for a personal account full backup you'll need to enable the following permissions:
+
+**User permissions**: Read access to followers, starring, and watching.
+
+**Repository permissions**: Read access to code, commit statuses, issues, metadata, pages, pull requests, and repository hooks.
+
+
+Prefer SSH
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If cloning repos is enabled with ``--repositories``, ``--all-starred``, ``--wikis``, ``--gists``, ``--starred-gists`` using the ``--prefer-ssh`` argument will use ssh for cloning the git repos, but all other connections will still use their own protocol, e.g. API requests for issues uses HTTPS.
+
+To clone with SSH, you'll need SSH authentication setup `as usual with Github <https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh>`_, e.g. via SSH public and private keys.
 
-Note: Password-based authentication will fail if you have two-factor authentication enabled.
 
 Using the Keychain on Mac OSX
-=============================
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Note: On Mac OSX the token can be stored securely in the user's keychain. To do this:
 
 1. Open Keychain from "Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Access"

 1. **Allow:** In this case you will need to click "Allow" each time you run `github-backup`

-About Git LFS
-=============
 
-When you use the "--lfs" option, you will need to make sure you have Git LFS installed.
+Github Rate-limit and Throttling
+--------------------------------
+
+"github-backup" will automatically throttle itself based on feedback from the Github API. 
+
+Their API is usually rate-limited to 5000 calls per hour. The API will ask github-backup to pause until a specific time when the limit is reset again (at the start of the next hour). This continues until the backup is complete.
+
+During a large backup, such as ``--all-starred``, and on a fast connection this can result in (~20 min) pauses with bursts of API calls periodically maxing out the API limit. If this is not suitable `it has been observed <https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup/issues/76#issuecomment-636158717>`_ under real-world conditions that overriding the throttle with ``--throttle-limit 5000 --throttle-pause 0.6`` provides a smooth rate across the hour, although a ``--throttle-pause 0.72`` (3600 seconds [1 hour] / 5000 limit) is theoretically safer to prevent large rate-limit pauses.
+
+
+About Git LFS
+-------------
+
+When you use the ``--lfs`` option, you will need to make sure you have Git LFS installed.
 
 Instructions on how to do this can be found on https://git-lfs.github.com.
 
-Examples
-========
 
-Backup all repositories::
+Gotchas / Known-issues
+======================
+
+All is not everything
+---------------------
+
+The ``--all`` argument does not include; cloning private repos (``-P, --private``), cloning forks (``-F, --fork``) cloning starred repositories (``--all-starred``), ``--pull-details``, cloning LFS repositories (``--lfs``), cloning gists (``--starred-gists``) or cloning starred gist repos (``--starred-gists``). See examples for more.
+
+Cloning all starred size
+------------------------
+
+Using the ``--all-starred`` argument to clone all starred repositories may use a large amount of storage space, especially if ``--all`` or more arguments are used. e.g. commonly starred repos can have tens of thousands of issues, many large assets and the repo itself etc. Consider just storing links to starred repos in JSON format with ``--starred``.
+
+Incremental Backup
+------------------
+
+Using (``-i, --incremental``) will only request new data from the API **since the last run (successful or not)**. e.g. only request issues from the API since the last run. 
+
+This means any blocking errors on previous runs can cause a large amount of missing data in backups.
+
+Known blocking errors
+---------------------
+
+Some errors will block the backup run by exiting the script. e.g. receiving a 403 Forbidden error from the Github API.
+
+If the incremental argument is used, this will result in the next backup only requesting API data since the last blocked/failed run. Potentially causing unexpected large amounts of missing data.
+
+It's therefore recommended to only use the incremental argument if the output/result is being actively monitored, or complimented with periodic full non-incremental runs, to avoid unexpected missing data in a regular backup runs.
+
+1. **Starred public repo hooks blocking**
+
+   Since the ``--all`` argument includes ``--hooks``, if you use ``--all`` and ``--all-starred`` together to clone a users starred public repositories, the backup will likely error and block the backup continuing. 
+
+   This is due to needing the correct permission for ``--hooks`` on public repos.
+
+2. **Releases blocking**
+
+   A known ``--releases`` (required for ``--assets``) error will sometimes block the backup. 
+
+   If you're backing up a lot of repositories with releases e.g. an organisation or ``--all-starred``. You may need to remove ``--releases`` (and therefore ``--assets``) to complete a backup. Documented in `issue 209 <https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup/issues/209>`_.
+
+
+"bare" is actually "mirror"
+---------------------------
+
+Using the bare clone argument (``--bare``) will actually call git's ``clone --mirror`` command. There's a subtle difference between `bare <https://www.git-scm.com/docs/git-clone#Documentation/git-clone.txt---bare>`_ and `mirror <https://www.git-scm.com/docs/git-clone#Documentation/git-clone.txt---mirror>`_ clone.
+
+*From git docs "Compared to --bare, --mirror not only maps local branches of the source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs (including remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such that all these refs are overwritten by a git remote update in the target repository."*
+
+
+Starred gists vs starred repo behaviour
+---------------------------------------
+
+The starred normal repo cloning (``--all-starred``) argument stores starred repos separately to the users own repositories. However, using ``--starred-gists`` will store starred gists within the same directory as the users own gists ``--gists``. Also, all gist repo directory names are IDs not the gist's name.
+
+
+Skip existing on incomplete backups
+-----------------------------------
+
+The ``--skip-existing`` argument will skip a backup if the directory already exists, even if the backup in that directory failed (perhaps due to a blocking error). This may result in unexpected missing data in a regular backup.
+
+
+Github Backup Examples
+======================
+
+Backup all repositories, including private ones using a classic token::
 
     export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
-    github-backup WhiteHouse --token $ACCESS_TOKEN --organization --output-directory /tmp/white-house --repositories
+    github-backup WhiteHouse --token $ACCESS_TOKEN --organization --output-directory /tmp/white-house --repositories --private
 
-Backup a single organization repository with everything else (wiki, pull requests, comments, issues etc)::
+Use a fine-grained access token to backup a single organization repository with everything else (wiki, pull requests, comments, issues etc)::
 
-    export ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
+    export FINE_ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
     ORGANIZATION=docker
     REPO=cli
     # e.g. git@github.com:docker/cli.git
-    github-backup $ORGANIZATION -P -t $ACCESS_TOKEN -o . --all -O -R $REPO
+    github-backup $ORGANIZATION -P -f $FINE_ACCESS_TOKEN -o . --all -O -R $REPO
+
+Quietly and incrementally backup useful Github user data (public and private repos with SSH) including; all issues, pulls, all public starred repos and gists (omitting "hooks", "releases" and therefore "assets" to prevent blocking). *Great for a cron job.* ::
+
+    export FINE_ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
+    GH_USER=YOUR-GITHUB-USER
+
+    github-backup -f $FINE_ACCESS_TOKEN --prefer-ssh -o ~/github-backup/ -l error -P -i --all-starred --starred --watched --followers --following --issues --issue-comments --issue-events --pulls --pull-comments --pull-commits --labels --milestones --repositories --wikis --releases --assets --pull-details --gists --starred-gists $GH_USER
+    
+Debug an error/block or incomplete backup into a temporary directory. Omit "incremental" to fill a previous incomplete backup. ::
+
+    export FINE_ACCESS_TOKEN=SOME-GITHUB-TOKEN
+    GH_USER=YOUR-GITHUB-USER
+
+    github-backup -f $FINE_ACCESS_TOKEN -o /tmp/github-backup/ -l debug -P --all-starred --starred --watched --followers --following --issues --issue-comments --issue-events --pulls --pull-comments --pull-commits --labels --milestones --repositories --wikis --releases --assets --pull-details --gists --starred-gists $GH_USER
