(computer)% bolthole source_dir [dest_dir]

Automatically backup a directory to git — watch a directory for changes, and either commit the changes or mirror the directory to another that is a git repository, and commit changes there.

There is a grace period to allow multiple edits in a short space of time, and multiple files changed within the grace period should be packaged as one commit, not many.

Outstanding

• watch source directory for file changes
• collapse redundant events (create+delete, rename chains)
• verbose and debugging output
• sync existing files on startup
• mirror changes to destination directory
• dry run mode
• create new repo if destination does not exist
• show git commands being executed
• override commit author
• override commit message
• commit changes to git
• ignore files matching glob patterns
• respect .gitignore
• commit and exit without watching
• push commits to remote
• wait before committing to allow more edits
• bundle multiple file changes into single commits
