There are a lot of Git repository providers.

Could be Git used as a Duplicati backend?

Hi @firy, welcome to the forum!

As long as a provider supports basic commands such as list, fetch, put, and delete it should be usable as a Duplicati backend.

That being said, isn’t Git already a versioning tool? It seems to me that would make it overly complicated as a destination.
