This simple bash script allows you to use a git repository inside the Google Drive folder.

The script automatically and recursively deletes all Icon? files created by Google Drive in your .git folder before every commit. These files would otherwise potentially mess up your git repository.

Place the script in the .git/hooks folder of your project. I also advise to do the following:

cp .git/hooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-push

which ensures the files are deleted also before every git push.
