        @sdetweil said in Question about backup script:

        if i find extra files i need a place to store them, so the module name for a folder is created

        Thanks for this explanation - this is what I had assumed.

        Regards,
        Ralf

          OK, thanks.
          I had understood that this is a config of your scripts, sorry.

            @rkorell no… you can store config settings for git (the source code repository tool MagicMirror uses and most modules use (…git clone))
            and the way to make the repository that the backup uses

              @sdetweil as far as google told me it seems, I need to install Git CLI - which is not easy available for Raspi.

              Any hint?

              Sorry!

                O.K,. Google is not my friend today…
                It seems that a “.gitconfig” file will do the trick …
                Will double check.

                  Nope.
                  Doesnt’t work.
                  Have created a “.gitconfig” file with

                  git config --global --edit
                  

                  Entered user, email and password - but your script asks again for “user” …

                  ???

                  Thanks
                  Ralf

                    @rkorell the SCRIPT does not prompt

                    I use these git config parms

                    if [ "$user_name." == "." ]; then
                    	# prompt for users name
                    	git config --local user.name $user_name
                    else	
                    	git config --local user.name $user_name
                    fi
                    if [ "$email." == "." ]; then
                    	# prompt for email address
                    	git config --local user.email $email
                    else
                    	git config --local user.email $email
                    fi
                    

                    git will prompt

                      @rkorell you HAVE the git cli

                      git --help
                      (–local means in this folder only)

                      git config --local user.name “your name”
                      git config --local user.email “your email”

                        OK, where do you get this from?
                        If I have a look at your other post „local means this folder only“ let me assume that you may look at „$HOME/MagicMirror/.gitconfig“
                        Is this true?
                        Than this cannot work because my

                        git config --global --edit
                        

                        created a .gitconfig in $HOME …

                        Will at least try your suggestion with git config … (THANKS for this - the stackoverflow article will be chacked as well)

                        Warmest regards,

                        Ralf
