This repository contains the automation code for weekly backups of the Epiverse-TRACE and Epiverse-CONNECT GitHub organisation.

This is achieved by replicating the back-up infrastructure from rOpenSci documented in the "Safeguards and Backups for GitHub Organizations" blog post.

Migration archives are created with gitcellar and are then uploaded to a Google Cloud Platform storage bucket.

This is automated via GitHub Actions and runs on a weekly basis (each Saturday in the night).

For increased security, this repo is hosted on a dedicated GitHub account, @epiverse-trace-bot, which also provides a Personal Access Token (PAT) with minimal permissions.
