Is there a simple script that allows one to clone all ROS2 repositories listed here: https://github.com/ros2? Say, i want the eloquent branch for each repo.

I'm not sure this is ROS-specific.

"All ROS 2 repositories" is ambiguous also.

If you're interested in cloning all repositories in a certain Github organisation, then solutions like this one could work (but there are many more).

If you're looking to clone the source repositories of specific ROS 2 releases, then you'd probably want to use something like:

vcs import /path/to/where/repos/should/be/cloned --input https://github.com/ros2/ros2/raw/eloquent-release/ros2.repos

this would clone the source repositories of the relevant packages/dependencies for Eloquent, patch release 2.

If you replace eloquent-release with eloquent, you'd get the state of the branches targetting Eloquent in those repositories, which is potentially different from the packages released into Eloquent.

This question is not ROS related, it's more a git clone problem. afaik there is no 'standard' solution for this. you can use the github API to get all repositories of a user/organization, then you can just loop over that and git clone -b it.
