Thanks all for your responses! I am going to try @karsten13’s answer and setup a parent repository above the MagicMirror directory! Funny how I did not thank of that :D

@bhepler I think you’re quite right to be honest. But by forking the entire project this won’t be possible, that’s why I was hoping it was possible to create a repo for it to automate the backup.

Perhaps a better way to back my config up is to create a script that mails the config every x amount of time to myself :thinking_face: :thinking_face:

@sdetweil perhaps your four layer backup routine isn’t needed after all!:winking_face:

@sdetweil a private repo on GitHub is free though!

@bhepler Would it then still be possible to update the MagicMirror? I figure it would be, but just to be sure. Do you think this is the best way to backup my MagicMirror setup?

Thanks for your response!

I was wondering how I could backup my config and modules folder to a private repository on GitHub, since the MagicMirror directory itself is already a local repository, is it still possible to push those two folders to my private repo?

Kind regards,
Arne de Beer
