Git Auto-Save

Perform auto-saving git repositories that correspond to some criteria

Installation

With npm:

npm install -g git-autosave

With yarn 1.x:

yarn global add git-autosave

With yarn 2+ (installing and executing):

yarn dlx git-autosave

How to use

By default, the script will search for each git repository in the current folder, and in all subfolder, excluding node_modules folder

In each folder, it will search for the package.json file, and check if a .git folder exists. If that criteria match, the script will check if the current branch has a keyword in its name (default keyword: draft)

If all that critera match and there is some file to commit, it will add the files, commit with the date as a message, and push to origin.

The script doesn't check the last commit date. Executing the command multiple time can result of a lot of commits. Use this command in a schedule task

Options

Some options can be configured:

• Base directory. The base directory can be set with --dir=<my working dir>
• Search Term. The default search term is package.json. It can be override with --search=<my entry point>
• Branch Term. The default branch term is draft. It can be override with --branch=<my branch name>
