Field notes
The page describes a staged update process: Repopus checks the latest commit, downloads changed repositories a few at a time, then swaps in the new copy only after it has been checked in a temporary folder. Users can keep repositories as zip archives or unpacked folders and choose whether to retain dated versions. The page says private repositories can be accessed with a read-only token or GitHub CLI login, and that the Windows installers are not yet signed.
