backupp

backupp is a Python package that automates the backup of folders to a specified local or network destination. It intelligently utilizes or generates a .gitignore file to manage which files or folders should be ignored during the backup process.

Installation

Install the latest version of backupp using pip:

pip install backupp -U  # Alternatively, you can use pip3

Usage

Console (Windows) / Terminal (Linux/Mac)

To backup specific folders to a designated backup folder, use:

backupp /path/to/source_folder /path/to/backup_folder

Examples:

Backup a specific folder:

backupp /some_folder/that_folder my_backup_folder

Backup the current folder:
```
backupp . path/to_my_backup_folder
```
Backup the parent folder:
```
backupp .. path/to_my_backup_folder
```

Handling .gitignore

The backupp package searches for an existing .gitignore file in the source directory. If it doesn't find one, it will create a default .gitignore file. You can modify this file to customize which files or folders should be excluded from backups, similar to how Git uses .gitignore.

Setup Global Backup Folder

To set a default backup folder, which can be used for subsequent backup operations without specifying a path each time:

backupp --setup /path/to/my_favorite_backup_folder

Backup to favorite folder

backupp path/source/somefolder

Backup current folder to favorite backup folder

backupp .
