How to git commit automatically on Mac

# Git Auto Commit on Mac How to git commit automatically on Mac ## Protocol ### Install `fswatch` ```bash $ brew install fswatch ``` ### Run detection A command line here is an example. ```bash $ cd <the root of the local git repository> $ fswatch -0 . -l 10 -e "\\.git.*" | xargs -0 -n 1 -I{} sh -c 'git add .; git commit --author="Author automatic <author@users.noreply.github.com>" -m "auto commit changes.";' ``` ### Edit anything ## Caveat 1. Don't use `git commit -am` because -a doesn't treat a new file. 1. Better to put .gitignore first to prevent exhaustive detection. 1. Better to create a branch for this auto committing because the commit history gets messy about. 1. Set a latency not to commit too sensitive changes, e.g. `-l 10`.
