Full Changelog: https://github.com/ChappIO/git-backup/compare/v1.4.0...v1.5.0

This release adds a new --version flag for easier troubleshooting when creating issues.

There is no way to pull if you don't have a working tree. So backups would fail if you used the --backup.bare-clone option. @schoentoon fixed this by checking if a repo is a bare repo before pulling.

Thanks again to @schoentoon for a nice addition. You can now specify the --backup.bare-clone flag to perform bare clones and save some disk space in the process.

The "starred" option in GitHub sources was previously ignored. Thanks @LucaScorpion for fixing this.

This release adds a new option --backup.fail-at-end thanks to @schoentoon. This option will continue making backups when a repository fails to clone and exit with an error code at the end of the backup instead.

When the configuration file is malformed such that no configurations are detected, the application would silently close.
Now this case is detected and a hint is printed to console to check the config file.

This version adds a new docker image distribution to the release builds so that you can run Kubernetes cronjobs.

This release adds support for GitLab projects.

Initial release with GitHub support.

This version backs up:

• repos you own
• repos on which you are a contributor
• repos you can access from your organisations
• repos you starred
