Data Backup Guide
After the termination of goormIDE on October 29, 2025, it will not be possible to recover any data from containers or custom images. Please make sure to back up your data in advance using the methods described below.
Git Backup
Git is a widely used tool for source code version control and collaboration. In goormIDE, you can also use Git to securely store your data.
Using Terminal Commands

By default, the terminal is available as the Terminal tab in the bottom layout of the goormIDE interface. To open it in a new window, go to [Window] > [New Terminal Window] or press the default shortcut Alt + Shift + T (Mac: ⌥⇧T)
.
Enter the commands in the terminal in the following order:
Initialize Git
git init
Add Remote Repository
git remote add origin <repository-URL>
Stage and Commit Changes
git add . git commit -m "Backup: YYYY-MM-DD"
Push to Remote Repository
git push -u origin main
(If your default branch is
master
, replacemain
withmaster
.)
