Off-site backups for your GitHub repositories

Back up your repositories.
Restore them anywhere.

GitHub will ask for the repo permission. GitHub offers no read-only option for private repositories, so this permission technically includes write access. GitSafe only reads and clones your repositories; it never pushes, edits, or deletes anything.

How it works

From GitHub to your Drive — safely

Every backup is a complete, restorable snapshot. GitSafe builds it from your repository and stores it in your own Google Drive.

Restore with Git Clone it back and keep working

Recovery

How do I restore my repository?

Each backup is a standard .bundle file. Drive backups are in the GitSafe folder of your Google Drive. A local backup is the same file, downloaded to the computer you are using. Git handles either one natively, so GitSafe isn't required to restore.

Find the .bundle file in Google Drive

Drive backups live in the GitSafe folder at the root of your Google Drive. A local backup is the .bundle file your browser downloaded. Find that file in your downloads folder.

Clone the repository from the bundle

The bundle contains your full history. Restore it into a new folder with git:
```
$ git clone <your-bundle-file> <repository-folder>
```
Keep working normally

The restored folder is an ordinary git repository — commit, push, and share it exactly as before.
