Why

To be honest I just built this so that I can download all the public repos without going over each and every one to clone them one by one. So this is only built for educational purpose, for example, in the next few months am planning to dive more into Illuminate packages, so this will help me to download them all not one by one., _(*8)

TODO

Add the ability to pull the new updates instead of reclone them again., _(*9)
