Gibby - create and manage git backups

pip install gibby[all]

Basic Usage

gibby restore 'Z:/Backups' 'C:/Users/user/repos'

Use-Case

What's the difference between backing up with gibby vs git push?

1. Git requires you to organise your code into meaningful commits before being able to push them. Gibby's approach is just back-up my work, no questions asked. Thus, by default, Gibby also saves unstaged changes in your working directory.
2. Gibby can be configured to save files ignored by .gitignore, such as build results and private keys (try: gibby snapshot help). You wouldn't want to commit those to git, but they're useful to have as a hot backup (read about disaster recovery).
