First of all - get the repository list that you're want to back up.

• To get the repository list in .json format you have to use gitlab api:
  • https://your-gitlab-host/api/v4/projects You can automate this, but I don't see the need of that step
• After that, you need to save the .json file in directory, naming it like as:
  • gbkp_YOUR-REPO-NAME.json, the script will find it as the gbkp*.json

Second step - run the install script from superuser.

• sudo ./install.sh
• If you want to change parameters - change /etc/gbkp.conf file
• If you want to add the repositories list to existing - put the new file in this directory and run the install script again with parameter --add-json
• If you want to change the repositories list - put the new file in this directory and run the install script again with parameter --new-json
