A bash script to watch a file or folder and commit changes to a git repo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What to use it for?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* config files: some programs auto-write their config files, without waiting
|
||
|
|
for you to click an 'Apply' button; or even if there is such a button, most
|
||
|
|
programs offer you no way of going back to an earlier version of your settings.
|
||
|
|
If you commit your config file(s) to a git repo, you can track changes and go
|
||
|
|
back to older versions. This script makes it convenient, to have all changes
|
||
|
|
recorded automatically.
|
||
|
|
* document files: if you use an editor that does not have built-in git support
|
||
|
|
(or maybe if you don't like the git support it has), you can use gitwatch to
|
||
|
|
automatically commit your files when you save them, or combine it with the
|
||
|
|
editor's auto-save feature to fully automatically and regularly track your
|
||
|
|
changes.
