Status](https://travis-ci.org/antham/helm-backup.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/antham/helm-backup) [![MELPA](http://melpa.org/packages/helm-backup-badge.svg)](http://melpa.org/#/helm-backup)\n\nThis project aims to create a backup system for emacs using both power of git to store changes and power of helm to fetch backups easily.\n\n![](http://antham.github.io/helm-backup/pictures/helm-backup.gif)\n\n## Features\n\n- Diff view to revert changes easily\n- Open backup in buffer or replace current one through helm\n- Exclude files/folders from backup\n- Customize storage path\n\n## Getting started\n\n### Dependencies\n\n* git (\u003e= 1.5) (binary)\n* helm (emacs library)\n* s (emacs library)\n\nFor emacs prior version 24.3 :\n\n* cl-lib (emacs library)\n\n### Install\n\nYou can use melpa:\n\n    M-x package-install RET helm-backup\n\nor you can pull it from here and you have to add in your emacs config :\n\n```elisp\n(add-to-list 'load-path \"/path/to/helm-backup-directory\")\n(require 'helm-backup)\n```\n\nIf you want to store every change each time you save a file add :\n\n```elisp\n(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'helm-backup-versioning)\n```\n\nor\n\n    M-x customize-variable RET after-save-hook RET [INS] helm-backup-versioning\n\n### Usage\n\nYou can map `helm-backup` command to key to retrieve easily backup as follow :\n\n```elisp\n(global-set-key (kbd \"C-c b\")   'helm-backup)\n```\n\nAfter that, open a file, press `C-c b` and a list of backup will be displayed if any, you can choose to see backup in new buffer (default) or override current buffer with backup.\n\nYou can customize several configuration options, do :\n\n    M-x customize-group RET helm-backup\n\nIt's possible to remove all backups of a file by calling, from the buffer where your file is open, ```helm-backup-remove-file-backups```.\n\n### Tests\n\nFirst you need to install cask :\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSkL https://raw.github.com/cask/cask/master/go | python\n```\n\nAdd cask to your path :\n\n```bash\nexport PATH=$PATH:/home/YOUR_USERNAME/.cask/bin\n```\n\nDownload dependencies using cask :\n\n```bash\nmake downloads\n```\n\nRun tests :\n\n```\nmake test\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fantham%2Fhelm-backup","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fantham%2Fhelm-backup","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fantham%2Fhelm-backup/lists"}
