Yesterweb Forum

Hey, I recall someone on the Yesterweb Discord server (when that was around) showed me a way to download your Neocities site if it's too big to do directly, through a CLI program. I can't remember how, though.

I plan to do a total makeover for my site and want to archive the site as it is right now to preserve the final state of the site as it is. Also have it as a backup in case something goes wrong.

Anyone know how I can do that?

EDIT: I just realised I posted this in the wrong forum! It was meant to go in Webeaving! I’m so sorry! Can someone move it?

Sadness has a guide on how to do it on her site: https://sadgrl.online/learn/articles/neocities-backup

Well, that uses WebDAV, which from experience is painfully slow. I was shown a tool that works through CLI like youtube-dl.

Once you're done, if you're happy using the command line, it might be worth using git to control your site and its changes. A friend of mine does this and finds it works particularly well.

Similarly, neocities has a guide on how to use their CLI tool alongside git directly.

I never thought about it, but I totally should do that. Thanks!
