jw0k / gwatch Goto Github PK

Would it be possible to use a shadow copy if it encounters open/locked files?

I found gwatch via this even though I tried searching GitHub first. Are you open to adding some GitHub topics to the repo? That might make it easier to find for others. Maybe topics like git, autocommit, potentially others?

For example we have logs subdir, which dont need to watch.

Hi,
Thank you for this gem.

in windows I get this error with long paths (more than 260 charachters):

2020-06-01 02:45:44: Git related error, invalid path '\\?\F:\_bin\.....html' (path too long)
2020-06-01 02:45:44: Cannot add files to index

git already solved this by using this config flag :
git config core.longpaths true

and libgit2 seems to have added support for core.longpaths in this commit:
libgit2/libgit2#5347

is it possible to update the libgit2 in Gwatch so we can have this option in windows? I attempted to do it, but in fact I do not know C, so did not work.

Thank you very much.

I'm looking for a script exactly like this, but to run on a mac. Do you think this would compile on a mac? I don't know C at all, but I assume there is a C compiler for mac. But I can understand if you don't have a mac you're maybe not interested in maintaining a build for a platform you can't directly test, etc.

Hey,

quick question, does this take .gitignore into account or does it see the file change and tries to commit it even tho the file/folder is ignored?

If a file is written say every 10s to the git repo, will gwatch commit 30s after the first right, including all the intervening changes?

My use case is that I want a "If I forget, make an auto commit" script. So I want a script that will wait until the last change to the repo was made n seconds ago before making a commit. I'm wondering if gwatch will support that mode of operation.
