GitHub-Backup

Idea By Chris Lockfort (devnull@csh.rit.edu) (Github username: Clockfort) Python version By Anthony Gargiulo (anthony@agargiulo.com) (Github username: agargiulo)

GitHub-Backup makes a local backup copy of all of a github user's (or github organization's) repositories.

Usage

"./github-backup.py USERNAME BACKUPDIR [-c|--cron] [-h|--help]"

Then, put it in a cron job somewhere and forget about it for eternity.

Why This Software Exists

This software is useful in many cases:

  • GitHub suddenly explodes.

  • GitHub goes out of business.

  • Your corporation's backup policies are more stringent than GitHub's.

  • You have spotty/no internet access - perhaps you'd like to have all of your repositories available to code on while you ride the train?

  • You are paranoid tinfoil-hat wearer who needs to back up everything in triplicate on a variety of outdated tape media.

Questions, Improvements, Etc

If you have any improvements, I'm happy, (grateful, in fact) to entertain pull requests/ patches, just drop me a line or message me on GitHub.
