Show HN: FromGtoG 8 – Cross-platform desktop tool to batch backup ALL Git repos

Wait 5 sec.

Hi HN! I built FromGtoG 8.1.1, a desktop utility to easily manage bulk cloning and backup of Git repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Local). The main problem it solves is handling the complex logistics and rate limits when you need to clone hundreds of repos in a reliable way, especially across different platforms.This latest version is focused on maintainability and performance. I designed the core logic using several Design Patterns (Abstract Factory, Strategy, Composite) to ensure robustness and modularity. I also implemented multi-threading to parallelize cloning across CPU cores (Windows, macOS, Linux/ARM64).Key features include: Rate Limit Prevention (to avoid server bans), Granular Filtering (cloning only specific types like Starred, Archived, or Private repos), and a Detailed Log File for post-operation verification.You can find the source code and full README here: https://github.com/goto-eof/fromgtogOr download the latest version: [https://github.com/goto-eof/fromgtog?tab=readme-ov-file#down...Feedback is welcome! What other platforms should I integrate next?Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45558852Points: 1# Comments: 0
