GitClaw Backup

Full backup of

/home/node/.openclaw/

to GitHub via git.

Quick Reference

Repo:

https://github.com/blessonism/openclaw-backup.git

Branch:
```
main
```

Script:

/home/node/.openclaw/gitclaw/auto_backup.sh

Cron:
```
daily-workspace-backup
```
— 每天 UTC 16:00 (北京时间 0:00)
Exclude rules:
```
/home/node/.openclaw/.gitignore
```

Manual Sync

Run the backup script directly:

bash /home/node/.openclaw/gitclaw/auto_backup.sh

Script behavior:

Lock-based (prevents concurrent runs)
Stages all changes (
```
git add -A
```
), respects
```
.gitignore
```
Skips commit if no changes
Pushes to
```
origin main
```
Logs to
```
/home/node/.openclaw/gitclaw/backup.log
```

Post-Sync Response

After a successful sync, always include a clickable link to the latest commit in your reply:

# Get the latest commit short hash
cd /home/node/.openclaw && git log --oneline -1

Then format the response like:

✅ 同步完成 — 查看 commit

If no changes were detected, report "无变更，跳过" (no link needed).
If the push failed, report the error and suggest troubleshooting steps.

Check Status

# Last backup log
tail -5 /home/node/.openclaw/gitclaw/backup.log

# Git status (uncommitted changes)
cd /home/node/.openclaw && git status --short

# Recent commits
cd /home/node/.openclaw && git log --oneline -5

Exclude Files from Backup

Edit

/home/node/.openclaw/.gitignore

— standard gitignore syntax.

Current notable exclusions:

workspace/images/

workspace/node_modules/

workspace/.micromamba/

workspace/bin/

, large binary files.

Troubleshooting

"already running" in log → stale lock at

/home/node/.openclaw/gitclaw/lock/

, remove it:

rmdir /home/node/.openclaw/gitclaw/lock

Push rejected → likely force-push or diverged history on remote; check with
```
git log --oneline -5 origin/main
```

Auth failure → credentials in

~/.git-credentials

; verify with

git credential fill <<< "host=github.com"
