It is deliberately narrow: scan for restorable dependency trees such as `node_modules`, then ask Apple's `tmutil` to exclude them so backups waste less space. ### 项目历史 The GitHub repository was created in October 2017. The README presents the motivating problem for developers using Time Machine: project dependency directories can be large, generated, and recoverable from package manifests, so backing them up is often unnecessary. Release metadata shows v0.1.0 in October 2017, v0.2.0 in November 2017, and v0.3.0 in June 2020. The README continues to describe a small shell-oriented utility rather than a daemon-heavy system service. ### 采用历史 Asimov's adoption is Homebrew-centered. The official README calls Homebrew the easiest installation route, documents `brew install asimov`, and shows `sudo brew services start asimov` for running the scheduled job automatically once a day. The input facts list only Homebrew packaging, which matches the macOS-only scope. It is a package-manager convenience wrapper around native macOS backup controls rather than a cross-platform backup system. ### 使用方式 Users either run `asimov` on demand or install it as a Homebrew service. Asimov scans for recognized dependency directories next to corresponding project files, checks whether they are already excluded, and uses `tmutil` to mark them as excluded from Time Machine. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 Asimov matters to package nerds because it encodes a practical truth about dependency managers: generated dependency directories are expensive to back up and cheap to recreate. It turns that convention into a small macOS maintenance package. ### 时间线 - 2017: GitHub repository created. - 2017: v0.1.0 and v0.2.0 releases published. - 2020: v0.3.0 release published. - 2024: Repository still received pushes. ### Related projects - Apple Time Machine is the backup system Asimov configures. - `tmutil` is the native macOS command Asimov wraps. - Homebrew services is documented as the scheduled-run installation path. ### 来源 - - - source_facts.package-manager ## 安全说明 broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. formula declares a Homebrew service. - **Geiger 风险:** orange / 中 - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal - formula declares a Homebrew service ## 源数据库详情 - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** asimov - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## 相关链接 - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Archive and compression packages](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/archive-compression-tools/) - Matched archive or compression metadata. - [afio](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/afio/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [autorestic](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/autorestic/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [backupninja](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/backupninja/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [bacula-fd](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/bacula-fd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [bareos-client](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/bareos-client/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [borgbackup](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/borgbackup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [borgmatic](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/borgmatic/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [bup](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/bup/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: backup, cli, system. - [httm](https://www.automicvault.com/zh-hans/pkg/brew/httm/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
