GitWatch4J

Published 08/14/2024

I recommend you use the GitWatch project if you need something for production as this has only been tested on Konloch.com.

GitWatch4J is a GitWatch remake written in Java.

What Does It Do?

Monitors your file system for changes and will auto commit them after a timeout period.
Watch the directory provided
On any new files:
- wait 2 seconds…
- git add [file]
- git commit -m "Cleanup"
To make editing easier for programs that auto-save, I’ve included a -delay parameter that waits until the file has last been modified at least 10 minutes ago before commit.

Monitor a specific directory:

java -jar gitwatch4j.jar ./posts/ -delayed
