gitbackhub

A script to backup / mirror GitHub repositories.

Config

Get yourself a personal access token on GitHub that has the repo scope.

Config file in ~/.config/gitbackhub/config.ini.

[main]
user = GitHubUserName
access_token = AccessToken
directory = /path/to/target/directory

[user:GitHubUserName]
[user:AnotherGitHubUserName]

[org:GitHubOrgName]
[org:AnotherGitHubOrgName]

[repo:SomeGitHubUser/some-repo]
[repo:YetAnotherGitHubUserName/another-repo]
[repo:YetAnotherGitHubOrgName/yet-another-repo]

Make sure the file is not readable by anybody but yourself since it contains your GitHub token.
