Description

This tool automates git add, commit, push on a local machine and pull on a remote server or cloud(AWS). I built this tool to avoid copy pasting changes to my personal site

Local

Pull this repo inside your project with the same folder as the repo name git-automator

Add the following line in .gitignore

git-automator/

Copy the .env.template to .env and fill out the mandatory fields in the file

Pull this repository

Add the absolute path of run.py as value of PASSWORD_RETRIEVAL_COMMAND in .env file

Make sure git-automator doesn't get commited to your git repo

Make sure the repo on github has been created

It is recommeded that you make the first commit manually with message "Commit 1"

git commit --allow-empty -m "Commit 1"

Make sure the repo has been initialized and pulled on both local and remote server

Make sure the remote origin url is set with password

https://USERNAME:PASS@github.com/USERNAME/REPONAME.git

Edit ~/.bash_profile

Add the following line

alias deploy="cd git-automator;python3 run.py;cd ../"

Then run the following command on the terminal to load the above changes without closing the terminal

source ~/.bash_profile

Remote Server

Set the upstream branch

git push --set-upstream origin master

Deploy command

deploy

You have to be inside your project repo on your machine for the above command to work

AWS S3

Configure AWS account on your CLI using aws configure

pip3 install boto3

In your AWS account create a test and a production bucket

Add those bucket names in the .env file

Deploy (Test)

deploy test

Deploy (Production)

deploy prod

You have to be inside your project repo on your machine for the above command to work

Notes

If you are adding any files directly on github please follow the commit message convention

Warning: If there are multiple people modifying the same branch this automator might not work
