Looking for your personal lists of Github repositories, which might be deleted from Github at some point, for whatever reason. For example, the maintainer might delete his account from Github or archive all his repositories.
A famous example of an open source project, which had trouble to continue thriving, is youtube-dl.
Which projects’ repositories do you think are worth backing up?
Wonder if there’s a docker to backup and update repos
Dunno about docker setup, but I mirror github repos I worry may disappear automatically using my self-hosted gogs instance. (Gitea/Forgejo likely also can do it). It’s point-and-click, you just specify the github URL and check a box “this is a mirror”.
Forgejo has an option to mirror a repository and update on a regular interval. It won’t get wikis or issues though. I’ve got mine set up to mirror a bunch of decomps.
You can easily mirror Github wikis as well. You just need to add
.wiki.gitto the repo URL. That way you can clone the wiki just like any other Git repo.Running Gitea and want to mirror worthwhile repositories, hence this post. :)
Yep and you can dictate the sync time. It’s great.
Thanks! This is great to know.
@TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub Why did you report my comment???
I don’t recall reporting any comment today. Can I fix that if I reported it somehow?
Edit: shit, I see I used report instead of reply. Im sorry.
I figured it seems like a response not a report! Thanks for clarifying :)
I agree with cli command over docker. Sometimes docker is easier for the less informed though, me.
