 Changelog
 =========
 
-0.55.0 (2025-12-07)
+0.57.0 (2025-12-12)
 -------------------
 ------------------------
+- Add GitHub Apps documentation and remove outdated header. [Rodos]
+
+  - Add GitHub Apps authentication section with setup steps
+    and CI/CD workflow example using actions/create-github-app-token
+  - Remove outdated machine-man-preview header (graduated 2020)
+
+  Closes #189
+- Docs: add stdin token example to README. [Rodos]
+
+  Add example showing how to pipe a token from stdin using
+  file:///dev/stdin to avoid storing tokens in environment
+  variables or command history.
+
+  Closes #187
+- Add --skip-assets-on flag to skip release asset downloads (#135)
+  [Rodos]
+
+  Allow users to skip downloading release assets for specific repositories
+  while still backing up release metadata. Useful for starred repos with
+  large assets (e.g. syncthing with 27GB+).
+
+  Usage: --skip-assets-on repo1 repo2 owner/repo3
+
+  Features:
+  - Space-separated repos (consistent with --exclude)
+  - Case-insensitive matching
+  - Supports both repo name and owner/repo format
+
+
+0.56.0 (2025-12-11)
+-------------------
+
+Fix
+~~~
+- Replace deprecated git lfs clone with git clone + git lfs fetch --all.
+  [Rodos]
+
+  git lfs clone is deprecated - modern git clone handles LFS automatically.
+  Using git lfs fetch --all ensures all LFS objects across all refs are
+  backed up, matching the existing bare clone behavior and providing
+  complete LFS backups.
+
+  Closes #379
+- Add Windows support with entry_points and os.replace. [Rodos]
+
+  - Replace os.rename() with os.replace() for atomic file operations
+    on Windows (os.rename fails if destination exists on Windows)
+  - Add entry_points console_scripts for proper .exe generation on Windows
+  - Create github_backup/cli.py with main() entry point
+  - Add github_backup/__main__.py for python -m github_backup support
+  - Keep bin/github-backup as thin wrapper for backwards compatibility
+
+  Closes #112
+
+Other
+~~~~~
+- Docs: add "Restoring from Backup" section to README. [Rodos]
+
+  Clarifies that this tool is backup-only with no inbuilt restore.
+  Documents that git repos can be pushed back, but issues/PRs have
+  GitHub API limitations affecting all backup tools.
+
+  Closes #246

+Restoring from Backup
+=====================
+
+This tool creates backups only, there is no inbuilt restore command.
+
+**Git repositories, wikis, and gists** can be restored by pushing them back to GitHub as you would any git repository. For example, to restore a bare repository backup::
+
+    cd /tmp/white-house/repositories/petitions/repository
+    git push --mirror git@github.com:WhiteHouse/petitions.git
+
+**Issues, pull requests, comments, and other metadata** are saved as JSON files for archival purposes. The GitHub API does not support recreating this data faithfully, creating issues via the API has limitations:
+
+- New issue/PR numbers are assigned (original numbers cannot be set)
+- Timestamps reflect creation time (original dates cannot be set)
+- The API caller becomes the author (original authors cannot be set)
+- Cross-references between issues and PRs will break
+
+These are GitHub API limitations that affect all backup and migration tools, not just this one. Recreating issues with these limitations via the GitHub API is an exercise for the reader. The JSON backups remain useful for searching, auditing, or manual reference.

+GitHub Apps
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+GitHub Apps are ideal for organization backups in CI/CD. Tokens are scoped to specific repositories and expire after 1 hour.
+
+**One-time setup:**
+
+1. Create a GitHub App at *Settings -> Developer Settings -> GitHub Apps -> New GitHub App*
+2. Set a name and homepage URL (can be any URL)
+3. Uncheck "Webhook > Active" (not needed for backups)
+4. Set permissions (same as fine-grained tokens above)
+5. Click "Create GitHub App", then note the **App ID** shown on the next page
+6. Under "Private keys", click "Generate a private key" and save the downloaded file
+7. Go to *Install App* in your app's settings
+8. Select the account/organization and which repositories to back up
+
+**CI/CD usage with GitHub Actions:**
+
+Store the App ID as a repository variable and the private key contents as a secret, then use ``actions/create-github-app-token``::
+
+    - uses: actions/create-github-app-token@v1
+      id: app-token
+      with:
+        app-id: ${{ vars.APP_ID }}
+        private-key: ${{ secrets.APP_PRIVATE_KEY }}
+
+    - run: github-backup myorg -t ${{ steps.app-token.outputs.token }} --as-app -o ./backup --all
+
+Note: Installation tokens expire after 1 hour. For long-running backups, use a fine-grained personal access token instead.

+Restoring from Backup
+=====================
+
+This tool creates backups only, there is no inbuilt restore command.
+
+**Git repositories, wikis, and gists** can be restored by pushing them back to GitHub as you would any git repository. For example, to restore a bare repository backup::
+
+    cd /tmp/white-house/repositories/petitions/repository
+    git push --mirror git@github.com:WhiteHouse/petitions.git
+
+**Issues, pull requests, comments, and other metadata** are saved as JSON files for archival purposes. The GitHub API does not support recreating this data faithfully, creating issues via the API has limitations:
+
+- New issue/PR numbers are assigned (original numbers cannot be set)
+- Timestamps reflect creation time (original dates cannot be set)
+- The API caller becomes the author (original authors cannot be set)
+- Cross-references between issues and PRs will break
+
+These are GitHub API limitations that affect all backup and migration tools, not just this one. Recreating issues with these limitations via the GitHub API is an exercise for the reader. The JSON backups remain useful for searching, auditing, or manual reference.
