I’ve made too many mistakes like this, so I check in anything important into git. Gitlab is easy to run locally.
GitLab is pretty resource heavy - if you want to self host something I prefer Gitea. Very easy to set up, doesn’t require Docker, just a single binary.
Why bother with either of those for private personal repos though? Why not just regular remote repos over ssh?
That's also an option - I've used gitolite before to set that up. In my case though I wanted to mirror repos from gitlab.com and github, and I might want to hook up CI and webhooks later on.
If it is not in git, it is not safe, learned that the hard way as well... I guess we all do at some point
I guess some lessons need to be learned through pain.
Yes, all those hurt. They sometimes still do, most of us are not machines that turn caffeine into code and we are never as clever as we think we are.
On a side note, w.r.t. keeping the dependencies up to date, have a look at renovatebot. It creates merge request for each and every dependency update, thus triggering a build to check that everything is OK.
damn that's really rough. do you know how to use git? might be helpful to have your scripts on a private gitlab or github project just in case
At least it was just scripts and not important pictures or rare albums or anything
