Automatic daily backup from production site to GitHub

autobackup.sh

# Shell script to automatically backup current branch to GitHub
git add .
git commit -m "Automatic daily backup via cronjob"
git push

# Instructions
# 1. SSH into the server 

# 2.1 Create this file at root of the repo to backup: $ touch autobackup.sh
# 2.2 Add the commands shown in this file: $ vim autobackup.sh

# 3. Set permission to execute: $ chmod +x autobackup.sh

# 4. Ensure the current (master) branch is set to track upstream: $ git push -u origin master

# 5.1 Test that the command runs manually: $ sh autobackup.sh
# 5.2 Check Github.com for the commit of the autobackup.sh file

# 6.1 Setup cronjob to run the file: $ crontab -e
# 6.2 Create or edit a new line replacing "example.com" accordingly
# 6.3 Example of nightly at 3am: 0 3 * * * cd ~/example.com && ./autobackup.sh > /dev/null
# 6.4 Crontab schedule generator: https://crontab.guru/#0_3_*_*_*

# NB: To ensure pushes aren't rejected and to avoid conflicts, 
# ensure you leave the repo on the correct branch and 
# manually pull down changes pushed to the same branch.

Honestly think I will go this route, thanks for the gist :)
tried making Spock work all day today and it just won't work well for some reason. Will try your way

Example implementation using Scheduler in Laravel Forge

cd ~/example.com/ && ./autobackup.sh > /dev/null
