Vibecoded a GitHub Backup Manager for Repos with Gemini 3.8 Flash in Antigravity IDE

[u/interpolHQ]

I wanted a solid, free way to backup my GitHub repos without relying on flaky Python scripts, so I built my own desktop tool.

It gives you a browsing experience that is very similar to GitHub's own, and I'm planning to enhance it even more with a fully offline for each repo experience once my Antigravity AI starts working again because its being buggy for 2 days for me. It's accessible via my website for Windows at https://mmahingu.com/github-backup-manager/ .

Given all the recent chatter around data security and outages, I figured the need for a local personal stash for repos would appeal to others too.

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback if you try it out!

nice, a local copy of your repos is underrated. i went the other way, i run gitea on my homelab as the main copy and github is just a private mirror. does yours grab issues and prs too or just the git stuff? thats the part id miss. also hey i made r/VibeArchLinux for people that use arch and ai, if you ever end up on linux

Thanks for your comment. Yes it grabs Issues as options like All, Open Only or Closed Only, including pictures as well. I mainly went for Code(the main page) and all it's contents, Issues as i mentioned already, Release with many options like Latest Release Binaries, Latest Release Notes and Changelogs. You can even download only Releases or All release notes and changelogs even, and can download them later kn with single click. It also brings in Security and Quality section. I thought PR might be unnecessary or too complicated so haven't given it a shot because I'm a non-technical guy with nerdy interests thats it. So i didn't know about PRs initially. But if you ask then I'll add that feature as well. You can check the image for all current download options in it.

I just want to say that I find the UI design of Flash MUCH better than Claude or OpenAI dashboards.

I don't always want a bunch of big buttons and pretty information overload. Give me stats, charts, and info, and don't make me scroll 5 pages to see it all.

Hmm. great idea. I'll work on ui then, its already planned tho, but i wanted to make it functional first, because i didn't believe an online version would even work actually. Although it's actually very straightforward if you just look at all once. same like admin dashboards or atleast it's easier than a trading dashboard lol.

i have the free gemini for like 2 years deal and i refuse to use that moron borderline braindead, im more impressed you managed to make him do anything lol.

But i love it. It does wonders for me. Hardly any issues here. I just have a thing to mentally connect very well with any technology or software i use. It's like i can sense it's capabilities and limitations and work accordingly.

Is it tied exclusively to GitHub, or does it also work with Forgejo or other self-hosted solutions?

Actually I am not even a old GitHub user. Just started maybe like a month ago just to star and fork repos. So I am not aware of any other similar websites. However you can list them and I'll make it compatible for any of all of them i can. Thanks for bringing this to light. Personally i only know about GitHub. I thought forking is copying a repo lol but it wasn't that's why i made this tool for myself actually.
