Step-1:
-
Create gitlab account for the year. Other options are github, bitbucket etc.,
-
Now we start with current year i.e. say 2020, then create a repository named 2020 preferably in gitlab.
-
Clone this repository to the local home directory
-
For each folder we need inside 2020, create a git repo in remote and then add it to local 2020 repo as submodule.
Suppose if you want a folder named dev in 2020. Then create a remote repo for dev and add it to local 2020 as submodule
[master] ~/2020 $ git submodule add devNote: For every commit in submodule, you have to make a commit in main git i.e. 2020 so that it will point to lastest commit for corresponding submodule.
-
If you need encrypted repository for personal information, then you can try git-remote-gcrypt.
Say for a repository personal, you need encrypted repository, then create personal repository in remote. Add it as submodule in local repository. Then create a gitcrypt remote inside local personal folder.git remote add gitcrypt gcrypt::[email protected]:ACCOUNT_NAME/personal.git#nextgit config remote.gitcrypt.gcrypt-participants "<gpg-key-id>"Also add GPG Keys in gitlab account settings.
For more details refer Encrypted Git remotes with git-remote-gcrypt
Step-2:
-
Create a goggle drive account and add a folder named 2020 into it.
-
Configure rclone for access to this remote 2020. For this your need to make an oAuth2 connection with client_id and client_secret creation in google developer console.
-
Create a mirror folder like $HOME/gcloud/2020 for rsyncing 2020 to it. We can exclude .git, .swp etc., in rsync.
rsync -avz --exclude '.git' --exclude '.trash' --exclude '.*.swp' --exclude 'plugins' --exclude 'python2.7' --exclude 'lib' --exclude 'python3.5' --exclude 'python3.5' $HOME/2020/. $HOME/gcloud/2020/ -
Sync the mirror 2020 folder to google drive using rclone copy. A crontab entry can do regular sync.
rclone copy $HOME/gcloud/2020 remote2020: -v
