So I have a question about backup

sdetweil

@mumblebaj probably git version before 2.28

the primary branch name option didn’t come in til 2.28. 0

i have

git --version
git version 2.34.1

I will add a check…

to upgrade git (don’t do it for these scripts… I have fixed the script to not need this capability, just documenting how)

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git -y

@mumblebaj I pushed a change to set the primary branch name a different way…

give it a try

backup to some other folder (and then u can delete that folder)

./mm_backup.sh -b somefolder

just pushed a change to create the output folder if it doesn’t exist, instead of error…

mumblebaj

@sdetweil Awesome. That was clean.

@sdetweil My git version is 2.20.1. Guess I need to update it.

only if u need something

mumblebaj

@sdetweil Right now, not. MM runs perfect as is. I’ll leave it for now. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@mumblebaj i don’t want to force people to upgrade, thanks for the report and test results

mumblebaj

@sdetweil No worries and a pleasure.

@sdetweil hey thanks a lot. I appreciate that
I will definitely check it out
I kind of made my own. It’s very basic but seems to do the trick
it is menu-driven so I can choose which modules I want to backup or restore
I’m fairly new at writing scripts. They are a lot of fun
