Manual Backups

Shell

Just start the script manually via the shell.

~/klipper-backup/script.sh

The script automatically uses the current timestamp as the commit message and automatic determines the format for the timestamp based on the timezone (America: month/day/year, otherwise: day/month/year). If you want to customize this, you can call the script as follows ~/klipper-backup/script.sh "my commit message".

Klipper macro

You can create a klipper macro [gcode_macro update_git] to run the backup manually in the Mainsail UI. This requires the G-Code Shell Command Extension which you can get very easily through KIAUH. A klipper macro can look like this:

[gcode_macro update_git]
gcode:
    {% set message = params.MESSAGE|default() %}
    {% if message %}
        RUN_SHELL_COMMAND CMD=update_git_script_message PARAMS="'{params.MESSAGE}'"
    {% else %}
        RUN_SHELL_COMMAND CMD=update_git_script
    {% endif %}

[gcode_shell_command update_git_script]
command: bash -c "bash $HOME/klipper-backup/script.sh"
timeout: 90.0
verbose: True

[gcode_shell_command update_git_script_message]
command: bash -c "bash $HOME/klipper-backup/script.sh $0"
timeout: 90.0
verbose: True

For a custom commit message using the klipper macro in console, type update_git MESSAGE="YourMessage".
