GitHub Offline Backupper

This script automates the process of cloning and updating Git repositories. It reads a list of repository URLs from a text file, checks if each repository is already cloned in a designated directory, and performs an appropriate action: it clones the repository if it's not present, or it updates (fetches and pulls) the repository if it is already cloned.

Features

  • Automatic Cloning: Clone repositories that are not already present in the target directory.
  • Repository Updates: Fetch and pull updates for already cloned repositories.
  • HTTPS to SSH Conversion: Converts HTTPS Git URLs to the SSH format on the fly.
  • Comment Support: Allows for comments in the repository list file.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Git must be installed on your system.
  • SSH access set up for your Git account (for repositories cloned over SSH).

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Make gitBackupper.sh executable with chmod +x gitBackuper.sh
  3. Copy the sample text file to your own cp gitRepos.sample.txt gitRepos.txt
  4. Add your GitHub URL entries - add the https://github.com/you/repo directly, no need for the ssh version
