#### Maintains a digital \*static\* repository of corporate records

THE ATTORNEY IN THE ABOVE VIDEO DOES NOT ENDORSE THIS PRODUCT. THE VIDEO LINK IS PROVIDED TO EXPLAIN A CORPORATE BOOK.

A corporation is a legal, independent entity and during the lifecycle, creates and accumulates lots of documents that must be kept for many reasons. This free application provides a means for keeping your corporate book in digital form using a JSON data store (<https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-server>) that is save in the user's home directory.

The actual corporate document is saved as BASE64 in the JSON file. A settings.json in the .corporatebook system directory can be modified to specify additional corporate-book-server urls.

# Command Line Arguments
--host=[name or IP]
=port=[port number]
-server=true|false
-noserver=true}false

when -server is true, turns on server-only mode and no electron UI is loaded. The server host and port are taken from the host and port command line parameters

when -noserver is true, the JSON server is not started and allows this instance to connect to a remote JSON server specified by the host and port command line parameters

Using an older PC with linux server (no desktop) to host the Corporate Book Server while connecting remotely using Corporate Book -noserver option.

# Data Backup to Private GIT Repository

To create a private repository, select the Private radio button instead of the default Public,

## Clone your Private Repository

```
 cd ~/home

```

```
 cd ~/Home/.corporatebook
 git clone git@github.com:`<username>`/`<repository name>`
 cd`<repository name>`
 mv .git ..
 cd ..
 rm -frd`<repository name>`
```

## Create the Backup Script
Create the following backup script

```
   now=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
   if [[ `git status --porcelain` ]]; then
       # Changes
       git add . && git commit -m "$now" && git push
  else
       # No changes
       echo "No changes for $now"
  fi
```
