Back up configuration files to github daily

Usage:

1. Put config_backup.sh to $HOME/config_backup.sh
2. Configure the script:
   • Fill in url to your github repo
   • Provide paths and glob patterns for backup
   • If needed: rename temporary backup directory
3. Make the script executable: chmod +x $HOME/config_backup.sh
4. Run script: ./config_backup.sh

How does it work?

1. Create temp directory
2. Copy "backuped" files
3. Init repository, push if there are any changes.
4. Remove temp directory
5. Create cron task to backup daily

PRO TIPS

• Do not back up full "$HOME/.config" directory. Some applications use it for cache :clown:
• Star this repo, write issues, make contributions

Test:

1. Configure script with your test repository

2. docker build -t backup_test --build-arg="GITHUB_USERNAME=YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME" --build-arg="YOUR_GITHUB_EMAIL=GITHUB_EMAIL" .
   docker run -it -v ~/.ssh:/root/.ssh -e SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" backup_test
