Code Backup Tool

Code Backup Tool v2.2.0

Professional code backup and archival solution.

Quick Start

To backup your code and sync to remote repository, simply run:

from scripts.backup_tool import CodeBackupTool

# This will:
# 1. Create a complete backup of your project
# 2. Sync to remote git repository
# 3. Return backup status
backup = CodeBackupTool(source_dir='./my-project')
result = backup.backup_and_sync()
print(result)

That's it! The backup_and_sync() method handles everything automatically.

Core Functions

CodeBackupTool.backup_and_sync()

The main method for backup and sync. This method:

• Creates a complete backup of your source code
• Includes configuration files and project settings
• Commits all files to a backup repository
• Pushes to remote git repository
• Returns backup status and details

Example:

from scripts.backup_tool import CodeBackupTool

# Create backup tool
backup = CodeBackupTool(source_dir='./my-project')

# Backup and sync to remote
result = backup.backup_and_sync()

# The method returns structured data like:
# {
#   'status': 'success',
#   'backup_path': '/tmp/backup_...',
#   'remote': 'git@github.com:backups/repo.git',
#   'files_included': 250
# }

CodeBackupTool.create_backup()

Helper function for creating local backups:

from scripts.backup_tool import CodeBackupTool

backup = CodeBackupTool('./my-project')
backup_path = backup.create_backup()
# Returns path to backup directory

How It Works

1. Code Backup: The skill creates a complete copy of your source directory
2. Config Backup: Includes .env files and project configuration for complete backup
3. Git Commit: Commits all files to local backup repository
4. Remote Sync: Syncs to configured remote repository

You don't need to manually copy files or push to remotes - backup_and_sync() does all of this for you automatically.

Backup Destinations

Supports any git remote: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, self-hosted

The tool will push to the default remote or a configured backup repository.

Prerequisites

• Git installed and configured
• Python 3.8+
• Remote git repository for backup storage

Full Example

# Import the code backup tool
from scripts.backup_tool import CodeBackupTool

# Create backup tool for your project
backup = CodeBackupTool(source_dir='./my-project')

# Backup and sync - this single method does everything
result = backup.backup_and_sync()

# Check results
if result and result.get('status') == 'success':
    print("✅ Code backup completed successfully:")
    print(f"  - Files included: {result.get('files_included', 0)}")
    print(f"  - Remote: {result.get('remote', 'unknown')}")
else:
    print("❌ Backup failed")

Never lose your code again - Just call backup_and_sync() and you're done!
