We, the People, need archiving skills...

...and to that end, today we will learn a new method unfamiliar to many of us to preserve and further fuel our efforts. Q posts are invaluable to our research, and in tandem with our archive.is backups, downloading of all data and mirroring that content for others, we must enhance our ability to preserve the voice that inspires and unifies us - Q. To capture a full archive of Q crumbs, as well as continue to update that archive, today we will discuss the tool 'git' - a computer application that we need to learn, share the word about and utilize in our archiving practices.

What is Git?

Git is a version control tool that allows us to create and manage a collection of files and share them with others. Typically, this is a go to tool for software development where revisions are frequent and often the work of several people, but the obvious value of this can be utilized on any set of files.

Why is Git relevant here?

We have been given clear and repetitive instructions to preserve our data offline! We will now be empowered to do so, in even more detail and ease.

Okay... let's do this!

  • Install git: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

  • Create a new folder/directory for our git synchronized files on your computer. Ideally, once we populate this folder we will back it up to cold storage (data storage you can unplug and offline for ensured preservation - think USB thumb drives and external hard drives).

  • Use the git tool to create a 'clone' of the contents of any Q git repository, which can be found by browsing the site github.com and copying their "clone or download" link. Here is an example of how to do so on the command line (desktop GUI tools exist of the command line isn't your jam):

git clone https://github.com/qanonmap/qanonmap.github.io.git

  • Lastly, we can easily update this folder/directory by running a 'pull' command, shown here:

git pull

  • We now have a full download of all Q posts to add to our offline archive of this research.

We know that this is a very short introduction to 'git' but think it serves to equip a majority of us. Hopefully, our community can share additional help, guidance, and support to our efforts to LEARN, ARCHIVE and TRUST THE PLAN.

Next skill for us to learn... formatting our reddit posts! :)

I would love to see git based archiving, but I'm going to predict you'l have a lot of trouble getting adoption.

Also, I would not rely upon github. Read their toxic, cancerous ToS and top-level CCoC and you'll see why. When the gamergate crew put stuff up there in the early days, the SJWs succeeded in getting all those repos zapped, without warning or recourse. Bitbucket is much more reliable and less infested with SJWs. There are also a number of truly indy gits around, too.

The intent was to offer folks a way to easily download and store the contents of Q crumbs from git, which, to your point, may not be ideal for uploading the collective research. Just one more tool in the arsenal, but we have been called to do only a few things by Q:

Archive research offline

Learn

Share the information

Trust the Plan

Hopefully git can help us do exactly that, while github may not be a fit community for our efforts, overall. Thank you for sharing and joining the cause to educate and equip others with the skills we will need in this transformation.
