Repopus v0.1.0

The first release of Repopus 🐙

Repopus keeps local copies of the GitHub projects you follow (apps, libraries, themes, fonts,
datasets) and keeps them at their latest version. Paste a link to a creator or to a single
repository; Repopus checks GitHub every hour and downloads only what changed.

Highlights

• Follow a creator or a single repository. Following a creator includes new repositories as
  they appear. Add /tree/<branch> to a repository link to follow a specific branch.
• Checks before it downloads. Only repositories whose latest commit differs from your copy
  are downloaded. Checks that find nothing new cost (almost) nothing against GitHub's limits.
• Never deletes what disappears. If a creator removes a project, it's marked as gone and your
  copy stays. Repopus only ever removes files it created itself.
• Safe updates. Downloads are verified in a temporary folder before they replace anything.
• Zip or folder, replace or keep versions. Keep one up-to-date copy, or every version side by
  side (optionally only the last N), per repository.
• At a glance: one line per repository with a green, orange or red mark, live download
  progress, categories per creator, and Update all, globally or per creator.
• Works in the background: automatic checks from the menu bar or system tray.
• Private repositories: with a read-only token stored in your system's keychain, or your
  GitHub CLI login.
• Light, dark grey or system appearance.

Good to know

• The installers aren't code-signed yet. On macOS, right-click the app and choose Open
  the first time. On Windows, choose More info, then Run anyway if SmartScreen asks.
• On Linux, the tray icon needs AppIndicator support. On GNOME, that's the "AppIndicator"
  extension.
• Without a token, GitHub allows 60 requests an hour. That's fine for a handful of
  repositories; add a token in Settings for more.
