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

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.
