Nicer script than me! You are great. I can learn more from you. Thanks :D

I've understood what you wanted from your script. My script aims to upload recently committed changes as daily publishing or such as, but you needed something to test changes before to commit them.

Thanks! I hadn't done bash scripting for a long time. Had to quickly learn it on that day :)

Speaking about the functionality - you're right. I work on my localhost but I need to scp files to the dev server. And just because I can be changing files in different places in the project, copying them one by one quickly got tedious. So I decided to write this script, which would upload everything which is not in the git repository. But otherwise it can be pretty useless as you can't force uploading of unchanged files.

Awesome! Very usefull, thank you for sharing.

Thanks! FYI, updated because of issues with file/directories with spaces: https://gist.github.com/carsonreinke/3c42730a80dba02e7940d38b193c791e

I finally just added this repo: https://github.com/carsonreinke/git-scp

@codeaid, I can transfer you ownership, you did most the work.

6 years using your script! ;-)

@kneipp Haha! You madman! I didn't know this script existed until I got the notification. Great to hear that something of what I write is/was actually useful to someone :) Obrigado!

@carsonreinke Hey! Sorry, I completely missed your comments all those years ago! I've never been good at noticing Github notifications :/ That's very kind of you but don't worry about the ownership, you did the work so it's all yours. I put it out for people to use it so if someone finds it useful, that's all I ever wanted.
