Have you ever encountered corrupted git repositories before? This tool is for you!
By default it will create backup of the .git folder before and after commitment if it has passed integrity checks. It also checks necessarity of commitment, whether commitment is done right, automatically repairments and more!
For those lazy ones:
- Install necessary binaries (
rclone,git,python3(you may need Py3.8 or newer)) to your PATH - Setup necessary dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt - Write platform specific/independent commit scripts:
commit.cmd,commit.sh,commit.py, etc... - Test by running
python3 atomic_commit.py - Run this in scheduler like
crondor Windows Task Scheduler
Command line arguments:
usage: atomic_commit.py [-h] [--install_dir INSTALL_DIR]
[--skip_conflict_check SKIP_CONFLICT_CHECK]
[--rclone_flags RCLONE_FLAGS]
[--backup_update_check_mode BACKUP_UPDATE_CHECK_MODE]
[--git_head_hash_acquisition_mode GIT_HEAD_HASH_ACQUISITION_MODE]
[--dotenv DOTENV]
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--install_dir INSTALL_DIR
[ type ] <class 'str'>
[default]
Directory for installation (if set, after installation the program will exit)

How to acquire git HEAD (latest commit) hash
--dotenv DOTENV [ type ] typing.Optional[str]
A single DotEnv file path
This repo intends to create atomic backup & recovery capability of the delicate .git directory, before and after commit operations.
Backup directory shall be ignored and specified in .gitignore file.
To maximize compatibility, rclone is preferred. to enjoy linux-timemachine like convenience, you need to improvise.
In the future, we may make this into git hook to be fool-proof and easy-installable
Timemachine is not working, maybe because the filesystem does not support hard links.
--link-dest is the secret sauce of timemachine. will --copy-dest work the same?
Rsync's incremental backup secret is '--link-dest', but let's make a hard-link free version.
Use --backup-dir or --compare-dest (better not!) for convenience.
