Does this work with hourly backups? about asimov

[poma]

I've made a simple wrapper implementation as described in the last paragraph gist that adds new exclusions when you use npm or cargo. Any thoughts on this approach?

First, thanks for bringing up this excellent point. When building Asimov initially, I was so concerned with historical dev dependencies that I wasn't even thinking about those that would be installed in the future (which is odd, considering how often I'm spinning up new projects).

While I think the wrappers you wrote for npm and cargo are extremely clever, hooking into the bootstrap of Time Machine itself is probably the most sensible route; heck, if we're able to pull that off for all of the automatic background runs, we could do away with the scheduled Asimov run entirely 🤔.

Side-note: one of the coolest things about building a simple tool that benefits developers regardless of language is the number of awesome things we can collectively come up with 😄.

You could also turn auto backups off and do it manually after each asimov run: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/148963/run-script-before-every-time-machine-backup
