Repositories backup

How does it work

• uses ghorg to copy all of the repos from github to local folder
• walks from all of the repos and pushes it to sourcehut (if repo not exists on sourcehut it will be automatically created)
• it stores bare git minimum to restore repository from the backup
• script copies only repositories with topic gh-backup

Usage

Run backup

1. Make sure you have ssh keys for sourcehut added to your local ssh instance
2. Create and copy Github Personal Access Token with every repo access. Make it live for short time
3. Run script ./backup.sh
4. Enter PAT when asked
5. Verify the output
6. Delete token after usage from the github page

Add a new repo to backup

1. Go to the github page of the repo
2. Click gear icon on the right, next to about
3. Add topic gh-backup

Restore repository from the backup

1. Run command git clone <path_to_backup_repo> <target_path_to_folder>
2. Run git remote rm origin to remove link to backup repo or git remote set-url origin <url_to_new_origin>
