Automatically back up your stored API keys and passwords to GitHub

Every stored login and API key gets copied to a private GitHub repository so you never lose access if something breaks.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each saved credential or key.

The problem it solves

When your automation tools store dozens of logins and API keys, losing that vault by accident can shut down every connected process at once. Recreating each connection from scratch costs you hours you don't have. This gives you a safety net without any extra manual work.

Who it fits

Operations or IT teams responsible for keeping business automations running smoothly.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system pulls every saved login and API key
  2. It checks GitHub to see if a backup file already exists for that item
  3. A new file is created, or the existing one is updated
  4. Items that haven't changed are left alone
  5. You end up with an always-current backup in GitHub
What you get

Access you never lose when something breaks

Every stored login and API key gets copied to a private GitHub repository, so you keep access even if something breaks.

What you get

A GitHub repository containing an up-to-date backup of every saved login and API key.

What you need

A GitHub account and access to the tool storing your logins and API keys.

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.
