Backup Uncommited Files in Git Repository

Why

Sometimes I feel a need of having the files affected on my working repository to be backed up. Yes feature branching and stashing does exist, however sometimes based on my needs i just need to keep backups with the files i spoil with 😜.

Just wrote this for fun there might be other sophisticated tools but you know 😊.

What does this app does exactly

1. Simply gets all the affected + added files from your repository and copy it to a backup folder.
2. Can also be invoked using a scheduler task service, like if you need to backup affected files every 2 hours just to keep multiple versions.

Prerequisites

1. Git (Obviously 😅)
2. .NET Framework 4.6.2

Installer/Portable ⚙ Download GitBackupUncommitedFiles.exe
