Bash script to watch a file or folder and commit changes to a git repo

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 files 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.
