A tool to archive a GitHub repository on the Internet Archive. The script downloads the GitHub repository, creates a git bundle and uploads it on archive.org
The upload is enriched with metadata from the github api and the README.md
If you don't already have an Internet Archive account, register for one to give the script yours upload privileges.
Configure internetarchive with your Internet Archive login details:
ia configure
Prerequisites (with Debian or Ubuntu):
sudo apt update && sudo apt install python python-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev git
Clone the repo and install the package...
git clone https://github.com/gdamdam/iagitup.git
cd iagitup
pip install .

iagitup <github_repo_url>
You can add also custom metadata:
iagitup --metadata=<key:value,key2:val2> <github_repo_url>
Example:

The script downloads the git repo from github, creates a git bundle and uploads it on the Internet Archive.
The repo will be archived in an item at url containing the repository name and the date of the last push, something like:
https://archive.org/details/github.com-<GITHUBUSER>-<RESPOSITORY>_-_<DATE-LAST-PUSH>
The git repo bundle will be available at url:
https://archive.org/download/github.com-<GITHUBUSER>-<RESPOSITORY>_-_<DATE-LAST-PUSH>/<BUNDLENAME>.bundle
Download the bundle file, form the archived item:
https://archive.org/download/.../<ARCHIVED_REPO>.bundle
Just download the .bundle file and run:
git clone file.bundle
