itaibo··on Show HN: BackRepo – Off-site GitHub backups with client-side encryption
I built BackRepo because I've always worried about single points of failure with GitHub: accidental repo deletion, account suspension, or even platform issues. GitHub has great infra and exports, but having an independent copy of my repos gives me peace of mind.

BackRepo connects via GitHub OAuth, uses git clone --mirror to grab full history/branches/tags, encrypts everything client-side (256-bit, zero-knowledge), stores it securely off-site, and automates scheduled backups. Recovery is simple: one-click download from your dashboard, decrypts in-browser to a .zip you can extract and push back.

It is a working product and I feel happy about it. However, it is the marketing bit that I lack (sad to say since I studied Advertising at university). So, I would appreciate comments regarding this topic: How can I get users?

These are the key differences with other platforms or automated scripts: - True zero-knowledge - Full mirror clones, not just exports - No server management on your end - Free tier: 1 GB; paid: 150 GB flat. Unlimited repos for both

It's early stage, built for devs like me who want a bit of peace. Try it out by signing in with GitHub (no email signup beyond that). Happy to answer questions and take feedback.
