Gitformat for backups

For more in-depth discussions, there is a discord-server available.

This mod allows you to store your backups from your world in a local git repository. This saves a lot of disk space when having lots of backups of the same world.

Even though this uses git as the backend, this does not mean, that you can use github or similar to store your backups.

Please note: In addition to installing this mod, you have to enable it in the config file of the backup mod. To do that, you need to:

1. Open the config/aroma1997/aromabackup.cfg file.
2. set the value of "compressionType" to "git". The line should then look like: S:compressionType=git

    

3. Set the value of incrementalBackupsToCreate to something like 100, so it actually uses the git system for backups: I:incrementalBackupsToCreate=100

    

4. Set the value of incrementalBackupsToKeep to something larger like 1000, because with the gitformat, deleting an incremental backup will delete all backups in the repository the backup is in. This value needs to be greater than the value of the above option: I:incrementalBackupsToKeep=1000

    

If you applied all changes, all backups will be created and restored from the local git repository.
