##Why make corvid? To be honest, I was going to make a simple utility for cloning multiple git repositories at once for those that don't configure their own aliases on the command line.
But I've also been meaning to put something together using the Github API for a while and this seemed like the opportunity.
Some people might find it useful but of course you can just search on Github.
##Warning Remember, that if you do plan on using corvid it uses the public Github API and therefore you are limited to 60 requests per an hour when using the tool combined with any requests you make not with the tool.
##Contributions and Suggestions Are of course always welcome, so please leave an issue or tweet me @_jh3y !
