Repo Man — Git repository backup app for Mac. Connect to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or any SSH URL to mirror your repositories locally as bare clones. It doesn't stop at the repo itself — Repo Man automatically surfaces and backs up dependencies like submodules and Swift Packages too. Store your backups on a NAS, external drive, or cloud provider, and know your code is safe even when a service goes down.

  • Mirror GitHub, GitLab & Bitbucket repos

  • Schedule daily, weekly, or monthly backups

  • Back up submodules and Swift Packages

  • Export a repo branch for file retrieval

Repo Man features


Mirror repos from any host

Connect Repo Man to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or GitHub Enterprise — or add any repository manually via SSH URL. Repo Man uses git's mirror functionality to create a complete bare clone of each repo, giving you a faithful local copy that stays in sync with your remote.


Back up all your dependencies too

The real power is in what Repo Man pulls in alongside your repos. It automatically detects and backs up git submodules and Swift Package dependencies from any `Package.resolved` file. Need to go further? A JavaScript plugin architecture lets you write custom plugins to surface additional git URLs worth backing up.


Set it and forget it with Smart Backups

Schedule backups daily, weekly, monthly, or on a custom interval — and let Repo Man run them automatically. Smart Backups take it a step further: for GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repos, Repo Man checks whether anything has actually changed on the remote before running, so you're not wasting time backing up repos that haven't moved.


Stay organized with tags and logs

Tag your repositories any way you like to keep things tidy across large collections. After every backup run, logs give you a clear record of what was backed up and how long each operation took — so you always know exactly what's been saved and when.


Works with Git LFS

Got repos with large files tracked by Git LFS? Repo Man handles those too, mirroring LFS objects alongside your regular repository data so nothing gets left behind.


Export a branch when you need it

Right-click any backed-up repository to export a full clone of a specific branch. It's a quick way to retrieve files or hand off a snapshot of your code — no digging through bare repos manually required.
