This GitHub Action allows you to backup and archive a organization repository to an S3 Bucket with the help of the GitHub Organization migrations API

The Migrations API is only available to authenticated organization owners. For more information, see "Roles in an organization" and "Other authentication methods."

Github migrations only archives your .git from every repository.

To recover your code from the archive:

1. Place all the repo.git files in a .git folder.
2. Execute the command git init
3. After Git has reinitialized the project, execute git reset --hard HEAD
