About python-github-backup

python-github-backup copies data out of GitHub so you keep your own copy. It can back up an entire organization, a single repository or a user account, including starred repositories, issues, wikis and other account data that a plain git clone does not capture.

It is a Python package run from the terminal and also ships a Dockerfile, which makes it easy to run on a schedule. It suits developers and organizations who want an independent archive of their GitHub data.

Strengths

  • Backs up issues, wikis and starred repos, not just code
  • Works for users, organizations or single repositories
  • Docker image available for scheduled runs

Limitations

  • Command line only
  • Restoring into GitHub is not covered
