This does a lot of nothing, a verbose flag would be important, why it is not backing up any of the 140 repositories. A verbose flag (in my experience EVERY software needs it) would show what is being filtered and why it is just filtering everything, even when specifying --all

I'm a little confused, it says backing up user, but it actually means organization right? Because if I use the user instead of the org name, it can't find that.

It looks like there might be a bug with case sensitivity. Is the name of the organization all lowercase prai-org?

fielding commented 2 years ago

Just wanted to jump in and support @whwright's hypothesis. I was backing up my organizations and noticed the same thing, it is indeed case sensitive and matching how github shows it on the URL to the organization fixed the issue for me.

I hit the same, turns out that I inverted streetcomplete and StreetComplete

Maybe it could show an error message "no such organization" or "no such repository" instead of showing logs that look like processing empty org?
