BackupHub

A cron-able script that will mirror all repositories of central git hub (currently supports GitHub and GitLab).

Requirements

1. SSH keys deployed to the backup host machine.
2. An API token for the target website.
3. python 3 and git.
   • see the environment.yml for python dependencies

Crontab

A weekly backup of your GitLab initiated by the cron at 3am each Saturday would look something like this (assuming BackupHub.py is in your PATH):

0 3 * * 6 BackupHub.py --path ~/backup --token <your-gitlab-api-token> --website https://gitlab.com --move-aside --ignore-errors >> ~/backup/BackupHub.log

or for GitHub:

0 3 * * 6 BackupHub.py --path ~/backup --github --token <your-github-api-token> --move-aside --ignore-errors >> ~/backup/BackupHub.log
