Been using Restic for a while but I was wondering how does it compare to:

- Rustic https://rustic.cli.rs

- Kopia https://kopia.io

A killer feature rustic has over restic is built-in support for .gitignore files. So all your dependencies and build output is automatically ignored in your backups.

Wouldn’t you back up your git repos by pushing them somewhere? Even if that somewhere is a different directory on the same drive. Backing up your local working copy sounds a bit odd.
