  • Push changes to remote repository
  • Tray Menu
    • Exit
    • Backup now
    • See current changed files
    • See time after last file change
  • Easy configuration of paths and delay

Installation

  • Create target repo folder and initialize an empty git repository
  • Set up git lfs for attachments
    • $ git lfs install
    • .gitattributes
