+# GitHub Starred Repository Cloner
+
+This Python script automates the process of cloning all repositories starred by a GitHub user. Simply provide your GitHub username and Personal Access Token (PAT), and it will fetch and clone the repositories into a local directory.
+
+## Features
+- Automatically fetches starred repositories.
+- Clones each repository locally.
+- Skips already cloned repositories to avoid duplication.
+
+## Requirements
+- Python 3.x
+- `requests` library (`pip install requests`)
+- `GitPython` library (`pip install gitpython`)
+- A GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)
+
+## Installation & Usage
+
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/manupawickramasinghe/clone-github-starred.git
+cd clone-github-starred
+```
+
+### 2. Install Dependencies
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Your Credentials
+Edit `github-clone.py` and set your GitHub username and PAT:
+```python
+username = 'Enter Your Username'
+token = 'Enter Your PAT'
+```
+
+### 4. Run the Script
+Execute the script to clone starred repositories:
+```bash
+python github-clone.py
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+- Ensure your PAT has the necessary permissions to read repository data.
+- Verify your network connection if cloning fails.
+- If repositories already exist, the script will skip them.
