Hi, i'm new to this tool. I try to use it in my local repo instead of one from github. $ pwd /home/sheng.zhao/linux $ backport --repo ./linux The repository "./linux" doesn't exist

But i find related functions are described in source code.

Did i misunderstand it？Could you tell me what's the right way ？

This tool expects the repository to exist on Github but I suppose I can change it to work for purely local repos as well. As a temporary workaround you can create your repository on Github (as a private repo if it is sensitive).
