Are all your repos centralized in github? Maybe it's time for a backup. Keep local copies of your repos to avoid having it all wiped out for some reason!

This is a tool / learning project to use Rust.

For this project to work, you'll need a github api token. You can check how to do this here. After creating the token and granting reading access of repos, place it at .env file.

The arguments are sequential, and they are:

• output_path : Where the zipped repos are going to be placed. Defaults to ./backups
• --allow-others_repos : This allows or not to backup repos that were not created by you, but are in your "repositories" page. Defaults to false

Example valid running commands are:

./github-backup ./backups --allow-others_repos ./github-backup ./backups ./github-backup

Note that you cant pass the allow-others-repos without passing the output_path.

If you're not a rust person and do not pretend to change any of this code, simply run the executable placed on root.

./github-backup

If you are a rust person and pretend to change the code, you can run it with cargo!

cargo run

and pass the arguments if wanted.
