Hi, user! Welcome to the Discord modding project backup archive. Everything in the "auto" directory is updated automatically every day +- 12 hours by the script which can be found at . These files aren't checked by the server administrators and as such can theoretically be incomplete if the maintainer of a project erases some of the data on the upstream. The list of currently indexed projects which are automatically backed up can be found at . Every other file and directory has been created and downloaded by hand (typically by recovering a project's files after its death) and is not updated regularly. **No files are deleted automatically.** Most of the data stored in this archive are bare Git repositories. After downloading a `*.git.tar` archive (they aren't compressed because Git already does it) unpack it, the unpacked directory will contain a bare Git repository. Then run (not inside the unpacked directory!!!) `git clone ` (yes, this is a local path), this will produce a normal local clone of the repository with a work tree. It is recommended though to perform recovery to a remote from the bare clone (in which case you have to `cd` into the bare repository or specify the git dir with `--git-dir` to perform any `git` commands) as metadata may be changed after cloning the repository locally. Directory listings on this server can be obtained in a JSON format by prepending `/__json__/` to the request path. This archive is mostly maintained by lexisother.
