Automatically exclude development dependencies from Apple Time Machine backups. For macOS users, Time Machine is a no-frills, set-it-and-forget-it solution for on-site backups. Plug in an external hard drive (or configure a network storage drive), and your Mac's files are backed up. For the average consumer, Time Machine is an excellent choice, especially considering many Mac owners may only have Time Machine as a backup strategy. Asimov aims to solve problems, scanning your filesystem for known dependency directories (e.g. node_modules/ living adjacent to a package.json file) and excluding them from Time Machine backups. At its essence, Asimov is a simple wrapper around Apple's tmutil program, which provides more granular control over Time Machine.
