This is my personal guide to restore my configuration and setup my system for a fresh install. I use it and keep it updated frequently. Hope it will inspire you on your own way =].
Before a fresh reinstall, don't forget to backup many things. A regular ghost made with CarbonCopyCloner or Clonezilla is a good solution, but if you can't, you should save the following:
Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config
file. It looks like this:
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git
Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

The script below is triggered every day from my Mac. I use Hazel to move the tar.gz to an external hard disk once it's finished. This happens every day without me noticing. You can exclude folders if you want to. You probably want to exclude giant cache folders.
You should have a similar script.

echo "Generating an SSL private key to sign your certificate..." | |
openssl genrsa -des3 -out myssl.key 1024 | |
echo "Generating a Certificate Signing Request..." | |
openssl req -new -key myssl.key -out myssl.csr | |
echo "Removing passphrase from key (for nginx)..." | |
cp myssl.key myssl.key.org | |
openssl rsa -in myssl.key.org -out myssl.key |
