2. Configure remote repository

If GitHub CLI (gh) is available and authenticated:

Ask user:

  • "新建 GitHub 仓库 还是 同步到已有仓库?"

New repo:

gh repo create <name> --private --source=<backup-path> --remote=origin

Existing repo:

# Add remote (user provides repo name or URL)
git -C <backup-path> remote add origin <url>

If no GitHub CLI:

  • Ask user for repository URL directly
3. Create config file
cat > ~/.openclaw/workspace/.backup-config.json << 'EOF'
{

  "gitRemote": "<repo-url>",
  "schedule": "0 12,0 * * *",
  "updateTimestamp": true
}

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/scripts
cp <skill-path>/scripts/backup.sh ~/.openclaw/scripts/github-backup.sh
chmod +x ~/.openclaw/scripts/github-backup.sh
5. Install scheduled task
