Git Archiver

A tool designed to mass archive a collection of git repositories on a file system into a format that can be put into "cold storage".

This project is still early in development

Archived Format

When running an archive into specific structure, shown below:

dst/
    enchant97/
        git-archiver/
            branches/
                pre.<archive-type>
            tags/
            all.bundle
            HEAD.<archive-type>
            meta.json

Install

There are many ways of installing and running this app.

pipx (Recommended)

Install using pipx, allowing for a self contained user install.

This will require Python to be installed.

pipx install git-archiver

Native Executable

This is the easiest way of using/distributing. Currently you will have to build an executable yourself, documented in the building section.

Docker

This method allows running the program inside a docker container.

docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/enchant97/git-archiver <archiver args here>

Building

You can simply run the makefile to produce different builds.
