git-restore

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
#
#
# restores a git repository earlier backed up with git-backup
# documentation in man git-restore(1)
#
# ideal scenario: git restore my-repo
#
# looks in git config for the default backup location
# search for the files corresponding to the repo name
# get the most recent
#
# In the future there will be probably 3 scripts, one for backup, one for restore and one with common functionality such as querying git config
#
# Right now, just take to command line parameters
#
# TODO:
# -everything ;)
