Myba (pronounced: mỹba) is an
open-source, secure, distributed, version-controlled, encrypted
file backup software based on git,
for Linux, MacOS, and possibly even Windows/WSL.
In a world of vice, instability, evergreen browsers, fast-moving markets and near constant supply chain attacks,
it's the best kind of backup utility—a timeless shell script that relies on few, well-tested and stable technologies.
Its only dependencies are:
- a running shell / standard POSIX environment (sh, bash, zsh, dash, ... WSL?),
- gzip
- git (and Git LFS for files sized >40 MB),
- either OpenSSL or GPG (~4x slower) for encryption,
all of which everyone should discover most popularly available.
