Dipankar Shaw Posted on May 30 • Originally published at nexrepo.qzz.io Need your attention on my current project # webdev # programming # github I am currently working on a project. The concept is I select a github repository then it will automatically backs up that repository daily to a selected destination. Currently it only supports Google Drive and Dropbox for backup destination. Current version is just a proof of concept. What I actually want to do is - it will take the repository and upload it to another git provider like gitlab etc. From then it will get only those commits that are not backed up and back up them. Basically automatic version controling. It will help to have a back up copy of a project in other provider and easily migrate away from github to that git provider. I feel that we need this type of application now more than ever before. Slowly Github's quality is going down, it is having outages frequently. Their uptime dropped to 90% from 99%. A lot of developers are moving away from it but few developers don't want to. Perhaps they can't for any reason. I myself don't want to migrate away right now. So I am thinking this concept can help those developers including me. What do you think. If you have any suggestions or queries let me know.
