About:
Gitbackup is a command-line utility designed to simplify the process of backing up repositories from major Git hosting services. It automates cloning and updating of repositories, supporting GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. This tool ensures developers maintain offline copies of their codebases without manual intervention.
Key Features:
  • Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
  • Incremental backups to save bandwidth and storage
  • Simple CLI interface for easy automation
  • Backup private repositories using tokens
Use Cases:
  • Automating daily backups of cloud-hosted repositories
  • Migrating repositories between different Git hosting providers
  • Creating local mirrors for disaster recovery
Alternatives:
  • git-remote-backup – A shell script that backs up git remotes to another remote, whereas gitbackup focuses on local cloning.
  • rclone – General purpose cloud sync tool, less specialized for git repository structures than gitbackup.
