What a vibe coder needs from backup
Vibe coding is fast, but local-only projects are fragile. A useful backup workflow should create a private remote copy, avoid Git jargon, and make it clear when the latest work is safe.
Try the private backup workflow
Install the alpha globally, then run setup inside a test project before using it on important work.
npm install -g aicodebackup@alpha
What AICodeBackup handles
- Checks whether Git and GitHub CLI are installed.
- Helps connect the local machine to GitHub.
- Creates a private repository when no remote exists.
- Runs add, commit, and push through one backup command.
- Checks backup health with a doctor command.
When to run backup
Run a backup after the AI agent completes a feature, changes many files, or before you start a risky prompt. The goal is not perfect Git history; the goal is not losing work.
Start small
Test the alpha on a throwaway project first. After setup succeeds, try editing a file,
running aicodebackup backup, and checking GitHub for the private repository.
