Changelog

0.56.0 (2025-12-11)

Fix

- Replace deprecated git lfs clone with git clone + git lfs fetch --all.

[Rodos]

git lfs clone is deprecated - modern git clone handles LFS automatically.

Using git lfs fetch --all ensures all LFS objects across all refs are

backed up, matching the existing bare clone behavior and providing

complete LFS backups.

Closes #379

- Add Windows support with entry_points and os.replace. [Rodos]

- Replace os.rename() with os.replace() for atomic file operations

on Windows (os.rename fails if destination exists on Windows)

- Add entry_points console_scripts for proper .exe generation on Windows

- Create github_backup/cli.py with main() entry point

- Add github_backup/__main__.py for python -m github_backup support

- Keep bin/github-backup as thin wrapper for backwards compatibility

Closes #112

Other

- Docs: add "Restoring from Backup" section to README. [Rodos]

Clarifies that this tool is backup-only with no inbuilt restore.

Documents that git repos can be pushed back, but issues/PRs have

GitHub API limitations affecting all backup tools.
