Automatically back up your automations to GitHub

Keeps a version-controlled backup of every automation you run, safely stored in GitHub for peace of mind.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per one per automation.

The problem it solves

Your automations run your business behind the scenes, but if something happens to the server, you could lose all of that work with no way to recover it. You need a safety net that does not rely on remembering to do it yourself.

Who it fits

A business or IT operator who depends on automations and wants protection against losing them.

How it works

  1. The system checks all of your current automations
  2. It compares each one against what is already saved in GitHub
  3. New or changed automations are saved or updated in GitHub
  4. Unchanged automations are left alone
What you get

Automations you can restore if broken

Every automation you run gets backed up to GitHub automatically, so your work is protected if anything ever breaks.

What you get

An up-to-date, version-controlled backup of your automations in GitHub.

What you need

A GitHub account with a repository set up for backups.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
