Backup of organization's GitHub repository

nl flag

Is there any guides/best practices/manuals describing how to organize periodical backup (and of course restore if needed) of entire organization's GitHub, preferably with metadata?

hmmm I think you've missed the point of "distributed" version control. While you might have additional metadata in github (e.g. user accounts, ssh keys) all the data which has ever been checked in along with labels and will be replicated anywhere you do a git clone or git pull

Indeed, but the problem is that I need it with all metadata

Backing up a repository

You can use the API or a third-party tool to back up your repository.

To download an archive of your repository, you can use the API for user or organization migrations. For more information, see "Migrations."

Once you have downloaded your archive, you can copy it to an external hard drive and/or upload it to a cloud-based backup or storage service such as Azure Blob Storage, Google Drive or Dropbox.

Third-party backup tools

A number of self-service tools exist that automate backups of repositories. Unlike archival projects, which archive all public repositories on GitHub that have not opted out and make the data accessible to anyone, backup tools will download data from specific repositories and organize it within a new branch or directory. For more information about archival projects, see "About archiving content and data on GitHub." For more information about self-service backup tools, see the Backup Utilities category on GitHub Marketplace.

You can also have an on-premises endpoint synchronize with all of your repos. That endpoint is backed up.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
