🚜 Farmore — Mirror Every GitHub Repo You Own in One Command

Most developers rely on GitHub as the single source of truth for their work. That’s fine—until it isn’t. Repos get deleted, teams reorganize, permissions change, and old code quietly disappears. Farmore solves that problem in the simplest way possible:

It backs up everything you own on GitHub in one go.

No platform dependence.

No manual cloning.

No “I’ll do it later.”

Just a complete mirror of your GitHub activity saved locally, whenever you want it.


🚀 What Farmore Does

Farmore’s goal is straightforward:

Give developers an easy, reliable way to back up their GitHub repos and related data.

Here’s what it brings to the table:

1. Automatic full-account backups

Tell Farmore whose account you want to back up—yours or an organization’s—and it pulls all repositories for you. Public, private, starred, watched, forks—everything.

2. Keeps backups updated

Already backed up a repo? Farmore updates it instead of re-downloading.

It behaves the way you wish Git behaved when cloning 200+ projects.

3. Stores more than just the code

Your repo is more than files. It’s issues, pull requests, releases, wikis, workflows.

Farmore bundles all of that into your backup so you have the full picture.

4. No micromanagement

You don’t need to think about which repo to download or what changed.

Run Farmore → walk away → everything is backed up and organized neatly.


👤 Why Developers Use It

Because most of us have:

  • Repos spread across personal and organization accounts
  • Experimental projects we forgot existed
  • Starred repos we wanted to “check later”
  • Old work we may lose access to after job changes
  • Code we don’t want tied solely to a platform

Farmore gives developers control over their own history.

Nothing gets lost, nothing disappears quietly, and nothing depends on GitHub’s UI decisions or your memory.


📁 What You End Up With

A complete, structured, local archive of:

  • Every repo you’ve created
  • Everything you’ve starred
  • Everything you’ve watched
  • All the metadata tied to those projects

It becomes your personal GitHub mirror — simple, predictable, future-proof.


🧩 Who It’s Perfect For

  • Developers with years of GitHub activity
  • Open-source contributors
  • Indie hackers running multiple projects
  • People switching jobs or cleaning old accounts
  • Anyone who wants a guaranteed offline copy of their work

If GitHub is your cloud, Farmore is your local backup drive.


📝 Final Thoughts

Farmore isn’t trying to be clever or overengineered.

It solves a real problem every developer eventually faces:

the need to keep their work safe, organized, and accessible — without juggling dozens of repos manually.

If you’ve ever thought “I should clone everything before something breaks,”

Farmore is the tool that actually lets you do it.
