pro-inital

pro-inital creates Git/GitHub backups for projects on Windows. Version 0.2.1 uses one pro-init-manager process instead of one PowerShell watcher per project.

Unified backup manager

The manager runs in the Windows notification area and is the only process that performs automatic backups or provides the local API. Its menu and project window can list registered projects and their status; create or register projects; start, stop, or run a backup; create or restore a GitHub cloud backup; manage its own logon startup; and migrate legacy watcher tasks.

Project state is stored locally at %LOCALAPPDATA%\pro-inital\projects.json. The loopback-only API is available while the manager runs at http://127.0.0.1:8765/api.

Install

python -m pip install --upgrade pro-inital

If pro-init-manager is not recognized, use the reliable module form immediately:

python -m pro_inital.manager --show

To make the command available in future terminals, add Python's user Scripts folder to your user PATH, then open a new terminal:

$scripts = python -m site --user-base
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('Path', [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('Path', 'User') + ";$scripts\Scripts", 'User')

First use and migration

pro-init-manager --install-autostart
pro-init-manager --migrate-legacy-tasks
pro-init-manager --show

Run the migration only after the manager has started. It removes the legacy project watcher tasks that can create PowerShell windows at login.

Project API

  • GET /api/manager, GET /api/projects
  • POST /api/projects (pass {"name":"name","path":"full path","create":true} to create a directory)
  • POST /api/projects/{id}/auto-backup/start|stop
  • POST /api/projects/{id}/backup
  • POST /api/projects/{id}/github/create|restore
  • POST /api/manager/autostart/enable|disable

Git, and GitHub CLI gh when using cloud backup, are required.
