Bash script rsync and git push
I'm proud of my little shell script that copies over files via rsync and commits those files to my git repo. This script auto publishes my digital garden made with Obsidian Publish with NextJS
Note
you'll want to login to git globally. Also, it will ask for your password when your first run this script GIT#global login via terminal
#! /bin/bash
WORKDIR="/mnt/uasis5/digital-gardens/pywriter-dev"
DATE=`date -d "$DATE" +"%Y %b, %d | %H:%M"`
BRANCH="pywriter-dev"
SOURCE="/mnt/uasis5/node/filesystem-livesync-pywriter4/dat/vault"
IGNORE="ignore-dev.md"
DESTIN="/mnt/uasis5/digital-gardens/pywriter-dev/MarkdownVault"
INDEX="developer/index.md"
cd $WORKDIR
rsync -av --exclude-from="$SOURCE/$IGNORE" $SOURCE/ $DESTIN/
cp $SOURCE/$INDEX $DESTIN/index.md
rm $DESTIN/$IGNORE
git checkout $BRANCH
git add .
git commit -m "auto published: $DATE"
git push
Now you should be able to stick this in your Crontab to run on a schedule
