# AICodeBackup

> AICodeBackup is an open-source npm CLI that helps AI coding users back up local projects to private GitHub repositories, then safely restore checkpoints into separate folders.

AICodeBackup is for solo builders and AI coding users who work with tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Trae, Gemini CLI, or similar coding agents. The product position is a safety layer for local AI-generated code, not a hosted code storage service.
