Automatically push directory to GitHub using cronjob

script.sh

#!/usr/bin/env sh
directory=<working-directory>
cd $directory
git pull origin main -q
result=$(git status --porcelain | wc -l)

if [[ $result -eq 0 ]] ; then
        exit 0

fi
        git add .; git commit -q -m "$(date +"%c")"; git push origin main -q

This is example to push obsidian directory to GitHub

For first

• Make sure you make obsidian directory as repository and push to github.
• Make sure you have install cron or cronie and enable service on reboot.

Lets setup

Create or go to directory ~/.local/bin

sudo mkdir ~/.local/bin/ ; cd ~/.local/bin/

Create file script with name pusher-obsidian.sh

touch pusher-obsidian.sh

Copy and paste script and put here (modify the script to your needs). Change <working-directory> with your obsidian directory

nano pusher-obsidian.sh

Use a cron job to run automatically

crontab -e

And put the code

@reboot /bin/sleep 120 ;  ~/.local/bin/pusher-obsidian.sh

Now, when you add new note in obsidian, your note from obsidian will automatically push to GitHub when computer reboot or start.
