This is a script for backing up multiple git repos, keeping local timestamped copies of all available branches.
- Save state of all remote branches into local branches by current date/time
- Keep track of backed up repositories, automatic batch backup of all known repos
- Configure repository "indices"
- Scan servers for git repos to auto-add them (using
ssh find) - Scan github user for repos to auto-add them
- Scan servers for git repos to auto-add them (using
# Add new repo to backup list manually
gickup addrepo ssh://[email protected]
gickup addrepo https://github.com/user/example.git
gickup addrepo /some/local/path
# Optionally specify a target directory
gickup addrepo ssh://[email protected] /target/dir
# Add github users / ssh server to watch for new repos
gickup addindex --type github user
gickup addindex github://anotheruser
gickup addindex [email protected]:remote/path
# Then scan for unknown repos
gickup updaterepolist
...
# Or scan without configuring
gickup updaterepolist --type github user
...
gickup updaterepolist [email protected]:remote/path
...
# Now do a backup of all known repos
gickup dobackup
# ... or a specific one
gickup dobackup /local/backup/pathdateformat- formatstring used to save remote branches into (
backup/<date>/<name>) localbasepath- directory where backups will be located by default
repos- configured repos and respective backup directories
servers- tuples of server-url (with user part) and server-path which will be scanned for new repos by updaterepolist.
github_users- a list of github usernames which will be scanned for new repos by updaterepolist.
Well, every project needs a name and https://github.com/sciunto-org/gitbackup beat me to the obvious one.
On this occasion: Thank you to the one who gave me the suggestion.
