Git Backup

Purpose

Git Backup protects the central library by adding version history, restore points, and multi-machine sync.

What Gets Backed Up

The app backs up the skills/ directory inside the current central repository.

By default this lives under:

~/.skills-manager-plus/skills/

Basic Flow

  1. Save the remote repository URL in Settings.
  2. Open Skills Management.
  3. Run the initial backup flow.
  4. Use Sync to Git for ongoing pull, commit, and push operations.
  5. Use Version History to inspect and restore snapshots.

Restore Model

Restoring a version creates a new restore commit instead of deleting later history. That keeps recovery operations safer and auditable.

Git Backup and WebDAV Cloud Sync

Git Backup and WebDAV Cloud Sync solve different problems.

Git Backup gives the central Skills files version history and Git-based sync. WebDAV Cloud Sync transfers a full app-state snapshot, including database metadata and Skills files.

After restoring from WebDAV, Git Backup may show local file changes. The app does not automatically commit or push those changes; review them before running Git sync.

Important Note

The SQLite database is not included in Git backup. The app treats the skill files as the durable source and can rebuild metadata by scanning them again.
