## Historique du projet et usages

Mackup is a Python command-line tool for backing up, restoring, and synchronizing application settings across workstations. Its official README frames the tool around repeatable workstation setup: install Mackup, run `mackup backup` on one machine, and run `mackup restore` on a new one.

### Historique du projet

The official GitHub repository was created in April 2013. Mackup grew out of the Mac and Unix dotfile culture of keeping user preferences portable, but it packages that workflow around application-specific configuration knowledge rather than asking each user to maintain every path by hand.

The project originally emphasized linking configuration files into a synced storage directory, but the current README documents both copy mode and link mode. The README now warns that link mode is unsafe for preferences on macOS Sonoma and later, making copy-based backup and restore the preferred path on current macOS systems.

### Historique d'adoption

Mackup is distributed through Homebrew and pip in its own quickstart, and the batch input records additional package-manager presence in DNF, MacPorts, and Nix. The repository metadata captured during this run showed more than fifteen thousand GitHub stars and hundreds of forks, making it one of the better-known tools in the Mac settings-sync niche.

### Modes d'utilisation

The common workflow is `mackup backup` to copy supported application settings into a Mackup storage directory, then `mackup restore` on another workstation. The CLI can scope commands to a single supported application, and `mackup list` reports the known application identifiers.

Mackup supports storage backends documented as Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, and a generic filesystem directory. Users customize behavior in `.mackup.cfg`, including storage selection and application allow or ignore lists, and can add custom application definitions under `~/.mackup/` or the XDG Mackup applications directory.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

For package-manager users, Mackup is a bridge between installing software and making that software feel configured. It is significant because it turns a messy collection of per-application preference paths into a repeatable CLI operation that fits bootstrap scripts, Homebrew-driven Mac setup, and dotfile repositories.

### Chronologie

- 2013: Official GitHub repository created.
- 2025: 0.10.x releases published.
- 2026: 0.11.x releases published, with current documentation emphasizing copy mode for modern macOS.

### Related projects

- Mackup sits near dotfile managers, Homebrew bootstrap scripts, cloud-synced configuration folders, and application preference backup tools. Its own docs relate it to Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, and Git-backed storage.
