gitlab-backup

Collects all projects for your account and/or any Gitlab groups (including recursive subgroups) and stores them to a folder for backup.

The first time the script finds a project it gets cloned, the next time the project is just pulled to keep it up to date.

Usage

• Get all requirements using pip:

  sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
  

• Setup a personal access token on your gitlab account. https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.html

• Enter your token into "python-gitlab.cfg".

• Change server url if you host a private gitlab server.

Run (using cronjob)

usage: backup.py [-h] [-v] [-q] [-r] [-d DIRECTORY] [-g GROUP_IDS [GROUP_IDS ...]] [-p] [-t]
