git_manager (git dashboard and backups): chronicle #

The git dashboard and backup manager was published in 2024 (documentation, composer) and became a full backup manager in June 2026 (2.0.1). In September 2026 it gained push, remotes, submodules and hardening of backups; on 2 October the Upstream card showed where an installation stands against its branch. See the feature page.
