A collection of scripts to locally backup git repositories. The idea is that you can simply clone repositories into your backup folder, either manually or using one of the scripts, and then use the git-backup-update
to update the repositories regularly.

useradd git-backup --home-dir /opt/git-backup
mkdir -p /opt/git-backup/repos
cd /opt/git-backup
git clone https://github.com/NavidSassan/git-backup.git
chown -R git-backup:git-backup /opt/git-backup
sudo -u git-backup -i
# create the path, usually username/repo_name
mkdir -p /opt/git-backup/repos/NavidSassan/git-backup
cd /opt/git-backup/repos/NavidSassan/git-backup
# make sure that the folder ends with `.git`, so that it is automatically updated by `git-backup-update`
git clone --mirror https://github.com/NavidSassan/git-backup git-backup.git

mkdir -p "$ORG"
cd "$ORG"

The git-backup-update.service
searches for .git
folders in the base directory /opt/root/git-backup/
and pulls the latest updates from the configured remote.
Installation:
cp etc/systemd/system/git-backup-update.service /etc/systemd/system/git-backup-update.service
cp etc/systemd/system/git-backup-update.timer /etc/systemd/system/git-backup-update.timer
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now git-backup-update.timer
This script automatically downloads all the starred GitHub repositories for the given username. Optionally, install the systemd service and timer to do this regularly.
Usage:
./github-star-downloader.py --help
Systemd service and timer:
cp etc/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
cp etc/systemd/system/[email protected] /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
$EDITOR /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now [email protected]
