commands/development/github/github-workflow/backup-repo.md

Create an on-demand backup of this repository.

Your task:

1. Create a timestamped archive of the current repository state

2. Include all files except those in .gitignore

3. Save the backup with a clear naming convention:

   • Format: {repo-name}_backup_{YYYY-MM-DD}_{HH-MM}.tar.gz
   • Or: {repo-name}_backup_{YYYY-MM-DD}_{HH-MM}.zip

4. Optionally, the user may specify:

   • Backup location (default: parent directory or ~/backups)
   • Compression format preference
   • Exclusion patterns beyond .gitignore

Confirm backup creation and report the file location and size.
