A simple CLI utility, written in GoLang, to backup all of your public GitHub repos.
There are a few options for installing gh-backup. You can use Homebrew (recommended), you can install it from the "releases" page here or you can build it manually.
Installing from Homebrew is the recommended approach on both Mac and Linux as it allows for automatic updates when needed. To install from Homebrew run the following command:
brew install ChrisWiegman/gh-backup/gh-backup
Simply download the latest release from our release page and extract the CLI to a location accessible by your system PATH
Note for Mac users I have not signed the download copy so you'll need to manually allow it in your Mac settings if you download it from the releases page. Install it via Homebrew to avoid this step.
You will need Go installed locally to build the application for now.
- Clone this repo
git clone git@github.com:ChrisWiegman/gh-backup.git - CD into the repo and run
make install
Assuming you have Go properly setup with GOBIN in your system path, you should now be able to use Kana. Run gh-backup --version to test.
Run the backup in the directory where you want your backups to live
gh-backup <my GitHub username>
