What it does
BackHub is a simple GitHub repository backup tool that creates complete local mirrors of your repositories. The easiest way to use Backhub is to download it from the project releases for your OS and architecture. go install github.com/tanq16/backhub@latest Build from Source git clone https://github.com/tanq16/backhub.git && \ cd backhub && \ go build Usage Backhub uses an environment variable to authenticate to GitHub. To do this, set your GH_TOKEN variable. This can be done inline with: # config file backhub /path/to/config.yaml # direct repo backhub github.com/tanq16/backhub YAML Config File BackHub uses a simple YAML configuration file: repos : - github.com/username/repo1 -…from github.com

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
