Use the backup command line tool to backup all repos listed in a "manifest" file (e.g. repos.yml, code.yml, github.yml or such). Example:

backup repos.yml             # or
backup code.yml data.yml

In a nutshell backup will backup all repos by using

1. git clone --mirror or
2. git remote update (if the local backup already exists)

and store all bare repos (without workspace) in the ~/backup directory.

For now only github repos are supported listed by owner / organization. Example repos.yml:

sportdb:
- sport.db
- sport.db.sources
- football.db

yorobot:
- cache.csv
- sport.db.more
- football.db
- football.csv

openfootball:
- leagues
- clubs

Using backup with defaults this will result in:

~/backup
   /sportdb
      /sport.db.git
      /sport.db.sources.git
      /football.db.git
   /yorobot
      /cache.csv.git
      /sport.db.more.git
      /football.db.git
      /football.csv.git
   /openfootball
      /leagues.git
      /clubs.git

You can script your backup in ruby. Example:

require 'gitti/backup'

## step 1: setup the root backup directory - defaults to ~/backup
backup = GitBackup.new

## step 2: pass in all repos to backup by using
##   1) git clone --mirror or
##   2) git remote update  (if local backup already exists)
backup.backup( GitRepoSet.read( './repos.yml' ) )

or

require 'gitti/backup'

## step 1: setup the root backup directory
##   1) use custom directory e.g. /backups
##   2) auto-add a daily directory e.g. /backups/2020-09-27
backup = GitBackup.new( '/backups', daily: true )

backup.backup( GitRepoSet.read( './repos.yml' ) )

That's all for now.

Use

gem install gitti-backup
