Git Grabber

A simple github backup tool, for peace of mind.

Usage

Add settings to config.json:

  1. Generate a github personal token
  2. Set an interval (min 60 seconds. Depending on your usage once or twice a day is probably enough, your mileage may vary.)
  3. Set a backup directory where projects should be cloned/fetched.

Run the application gitgrabber from your command line (you can fork it to the background in bash with gitgrabber &) the application will log its progress so redirect to a file or /dev/null if you're not interested.

For issues, please use the issue tracker on the repository.

Pull requests welcome.
