CLUSTER BACKS-REPOSITORIES-GITHUB · 32 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2019-05-31
Git repository backup tools
This cluster consists of tools that back up Git repositories from cloud hosting services to local archives, with some adding features like knowledge-base creation, issue tracking, or configuration backup. The dated entries appear sporadically from 2019 to 2025, then several appear in the first half of 2026, though the overall history is thin. The traction leaders, backup-git-repos-bin, python-shallow-backup, and epiq, each have 0 stars, indicating minimal user engagement.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
