Gitlab repositories backup utility

Info:

Gitbackup is designed to help a user generate batch backups files of all gitlab repositories.

General requirements:

A Java version 8 or above is required to run the util.

Getting started:

To get started with Gitbackup you can download a release file or build an executable jar file.

You can use Gradle to build a project.

 gradle build

Or either use Docker

docker run --rm -u gradle -v "$PWD":/home/gradle/project -w /home/gradle/project gradle gradle build --warning-mode all

We encourage the use of Docker if you don't have Gradle yet.

The build output directory is:

 
./build/lisb/gitbackup.jar"

Help:

The following table includes the set of arguments required to run the util.

Symbol	Description
-f,--folder	repositories folder
-l,--login	user login
-p,--password	user password
-u,--url	url of a gitlab server

Run:

Open a console to run the util. Choose the folder to save to or create a new folder using the mkdir command. The arguments should be as follows:

sudo java -jar ./gitbackup.jar -f ./folder -l user -p password -u https://gitlab.com

Note: run the program without arguments to get the Help prompt.

All of your GitLab projects will be stored in the target directory.
