Example

python git_downloader.py -r repos.txt -w *.txt -o /directory/for/downloaded/files

Keep in mind you need to change "repos.txt" to add the repos you want to download from, by adding a Github repository link in each line.

Use to download YARA signatures

This tool can be used to easily download all the YARA signatures in Github. The example "repos.txt" contains many links to Github repos with YARA signatures, so the only thing left to do is to run the tool with this command:

python git_downloader.py -r repos.txt -w *.yar* -o /directory/for/downloaded/files
