Proposed: Standard backup procedures

Context and Problem Statement

Things that aren’t backed up get lost.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Backup V-Sekai Github organization with V-Sekai-gitm and V-Sekai-github-backup.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

Use https://github.com/muhasturk/gitim to backup V-sekai. (tested 7b6e898b7587f61b0c5f00c3ab9862868f94479d )

git clone https://github.com/muhasturk/gitim.git
cd gitim
pip install .
cd -
export ACCESS_TOKEN=AAAA
python3 -m gitim -o V-Sekai -d V-Sekai-godot-gitm-`date --iso=date --utc` --ssh --token $ACCESS_TOKEN

Use https://github.com/josegonzalez/python-github-backup to backup. (tested 0.40.0)

pip install github-backup
export ACCESS_TOKEN=AAAA
github-backup V-Sekai --token $ACCESS_TOKEN --organization --output-directory V-Sekai-Backup-`date --iso=date --utc` --incremental --prefer-ssh --lfs --private --fork --private --all

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Not able to.

Positive Consequences

Two backups combined should cover all cases

Negative Consequences

github-backup doesn’t backup repos that are accessible in the dependencies
gitm doesn’t backup issues

Is there a reason why this should be core and done by us?

Only we have access to a complete copy of the repo.
