Automatic GitHub Comitting
« on: April 13, 2017, 07:03:35 AM »
Ok, so I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I'm sure it is somehow. I'm looking for something that will automatically, at a specific time or times, automatically add and commit changes to a GitHub local repository. I edit my repos on my local machine but I often forget to commit them to the repository so I can't work on them whilst I'm at school. Does anyone know if there is, or how to make, something like this?

I would advise against this- git commits should be as focused on a single thing (bug, feature, etc) as possible- as the history is valuable, especially when collaborating with other developers. Additionally, I find I rely on my current non-committed diff to see what exactly I have changed- Lots of times something will break randomly (or some solutions will require a lot of trial and error), and committing in the middle of a process like this can make your life difficult.

One solution is to utilize a cloud file-sharing system- we've used Dropbox to sync our Ulysses projects in the past for collaboration.  :)

I've never thought of that... That makes a lot of sense.


The main reason I wanted to, though, is I'm not completed with it yet so working when I'm at school is fun for me
