Automatic commits to Github

Question

I have a project folder that is updated multiple times per day from a remote process with new xml log files.

Is it possible to schedule a regular automatic commit (cron?) from the local project to Github and allow remote users access to the github repo to pull the new files?

Answer 1

There are plenty of articles on making a task to be run with cron which you already suggested in your question. Here's just one .

What you want could be achieved with these git commands in a script

find . -name "*.log" | xargs git add
git commit -m “<whatever you want, maybe $(date)?>”
git push origin <branch name>
