Data Backup Guide

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, replace main with master.)


Exporting Folders/Files

Download folders or files from goormIDE to your local computer.

Export Files

To download a file, right-click on the folder in the Project Explorer located in the left layout of GoormIDE, and then select [Export File] from the menu.

Export Folders

To download a folder, right-click on the folder in the Project Explorer located in the left layout of GoormIDE, and then select [Export Folder] from the menu. In the secondary menu that appears, choose your preferred archive format (ZIP, TAR, or TAR.GZ). The folder will then be compressed and downloaded to your local computer.
