BBCloner v1.4: Bitbucket backup tool

Monday, January 26th, 2015

I’ve released v1.4 of BBCloner.

BBCloner (Bitbucket Cloner) creates mirrors of your public and private Bitbucket Git repositories. It also synchronizes already existing mirrors. Initial mirror setup requires you manually enter your username/password. Subsequent synchronization of mirrors is done using Deployment Keys.

This release features a new flag: –tolerant (-t). It prevents bbcloner from complaining about failed repository synchronisation if a repository fails the first time. Only on the second failure to synchronize the same repository does bbcloner send out an email when using the -t switch. This should save on a lot of unwarranted emails, given that Bitbucket quite regularly seems to bork while syncing repositories.
