How to create a git watcher

gistfile1.sh

# this assumes you have brew installed – http://brew.sh/
# and oh-my-zsh – https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh


# First, create a new zshell script
cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins
mkdir your-plugin
cd your-plugin

# create the empty script doc
touch your-plugin.plugin.zsh

# open the file in your text editor of choice. Mine is Atom (atom.io)
atom your-plugin.plugin.zsh 



# Create your script

# this navigates to where I keep my changelogs.md file, creates a var with the date info ex. 10-25-2014
# adds, commits, and pushes any new changes to that file (that file's the only thing in that 
# then cds out of the directory

cd ~/dev/changelogs/
d=$(date +'%m-%d-%Y')

git add .
git commit -m "$d"
git push

cd

# Install fswatch – fswatch will watch for any save event
# docs – https://github.com/emcrisostomo/fswatch
brew update
brew install fswatch

# Watch the file (change the first file path to the file or directory you want to watch)
fswatch -o ~/dev/changelogs/changelog.md | xargs -n1 bash ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/your-plugin/your-plugin.plugin.zsh

# Create an alias
cd 
cd .zshrc
alias watch='fswatch -o ~/dev/changelogs/changelog.md | xargs -n1 bash ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/your-plugin/your-plugin.plugin.zsh'

# Open a new tab in your terminal and type watch to constantly monitor for that file to be saved
# I haven't looked for a good way yet to have this running without a dedicated tab but I'm sure there's a way
