Gmail takeouts come in an arbitrarily-ordered mbox file; I wanted something a bit more backup friendly so I created a small tool for that purpose and wrote about it.

Why not just use tar or any other archive tool on the repository .git folder? Unless your repository is a un-gc'd mess with millions of unpacked objects...
I think that is a fair alternative, but restoring the backup means that the repository is in a bit of a weird state. Whereas a bundle can be cloned from nicely. Your way does have the property that it includes hooks and config, though (which could be desired or not).

Six hours and counting. This is the official public support channel for the API.

This is super-narrowly scoped, but perhaps some folks find it useful. My team at work is a heavy user of the Google Ads API, and I found the official docs slow-ish and cumbersome to navigate when you approximately know what you are looking for. So I made this small tool to quickly search the types of the API, linking to the right place in the official docs and to the query builder.
Happy to answer any questions.

I was intrigued by a recent HN submission, Building Your Color Palette [0], so I built a super basic editor that supports this approach more or less directly.
