README
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/)
