A small utility for making a local copy of all your projects from a variety of various sources.
Sources currently supported:
If you already have [Rust] installed, you can install the program directly from crates.io:
$ cargo install repo-backup
Otherwise, pre-compiled binaries are available from [GitHub Releases].
Once you have installed repo-backup, you can run it from the command line.
$ repo-backup -v

Following [The Unix Philosophy], this tool is designed to avoid superfluous
output and only print messages to the terminal when there is an issue. However,
you can tell it to be more verbose by adding consecutively more -v flags.
Configuration is done via a repo-backup.toml file. By default the
repo-backup program will look for this in your home directory (as
~/.repo-backup.toml), but this can be overridden via the command line.
The configuration file looks something like this:
```toml [general] dest-dir = "/srv"
[github] api-key = "your API key" owned = true starred = false ```
The only required table is general, with the others used to enable and
configure the corresponding Provider.
Hint: You can ask the tool to print an example config using the
--example-configflag.``` $ repo-backup --example-config [general] dest-dir = '/srv'
[github] api-key = 'your API key' starred = false owned = true ```
