Auto Git-Pull Installer

This tool installs a daily cron job that automatically pulls the latest changes from a Git repository.

I needed a hands-off method of maintaining local versions of a repository on multiple machines. Here it is. This will make a daily pull of your repository. Drop this into the repository's root folder, run the installer, and you should be in business.

Installation

1. Download or Clone

Clone this repo or copy the installer script (install.sh) into the root of any Git repository you want to keep updated.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/auto-git-pull.git
cd auto-git-pull
```

2. Make Executable

Ensure the installer script has execute permissions:

```bash
chmod +x install.sh
```

3. Run Installer

Run the installer to configure the auto-pull:

```bash
./install.sh
```

During setup you will be prompted for:

• Repository path → e.g. /Users/joe/Projects/electric-monument-server
• Time of day → in 24-hour format, e.g. 07:30 for 7:30 AM

The installer will:

• Create a helper script git-auto-pull.sh in your repo
• Add a cron job that runs this script daily at the time you specified
• Log all output to git-auto-pull.log

Uninstallation

To remove the cron job and disable auto-pull for this repo, run:

./install.sh --remove

This only removes the cron entry. Your repository and log file remain intact.
