A tool to back up all your GitHub repositories—personal and organizational—while generating an elegant HTML profile overview.

GitHub Backer helps you:

• Clone or update your personal and organization repos in separate folders
• Generate a beautiful profile.html with your avatar, bio, followers, following, repositories, and organizations section
• Automate backups with idempotent pulls for existing clones
