Gitback: Git based backup tool (with OS X support)

gibak is backup tool based on Git. It uses Git's hook system to handle metadata - save and restore the information Git doesn't track itself, such as permissions, empty directories and optionally mtime fields.

Install

cp find-git-* gibak ometastore.ml to path

Usage
- Run once to initialize the backup system

~ $ gibak init

- Edit .gitignore to ignore files and paths, or add exceptions etc.
