Crestic - configurable Restic

=============================

This is a slim configuration wrapper for [Restic](https://restic.readthedocs.io/), a pretty awesome backup tool.

Why? [Because restic is unfortunately still missing config files](https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/16).

Usage

-----

The goal of `crestic` is to make running `restic` easy, e.g. creating backups using

```Shell

crestic home backup

```

instead of running complex `restic` commands

```Shell

restic backup \

    --repo sftp:your_server:my_computer.restic \

    --password-file ~/.config/restic/password \

    --exclude-file ~/.config/restic/excludes \

    ~

```

To achieve this, this tool does not try to be clever, it simply maps any *commandline options* for `restic` to a *key in an config file*:

```INI

[home]

repo: sftp:your_server:my_computer.restic

password-file: ~/.config/restic/password

[home.backup]

exclude-file: ~/.config/restic/excludes

_arguments: ~

```

More advanced usage examples can be found [in the docs](https://nils-werner.github.io/crestic/)
