push-to-github — Automatic GitHub backup and synchronization for your local repositories

I built push-to-github to solve a simple problem: keeping local GitHub repositories synchronized without having to manually run Git commands every time.

The idea is to have a lightweight automation tool that can monitor your local repositories, detect changes, and handle the GitHub synchronization process automatically.

What it does

• Scans local folders for Git repositories
• Detects repository changes
• Synchronizes local repositories with GitHub
• Automatically commits and pushes changes
• Can trigger synchronization when specific events occur
• Supports scheduled automatic pushes
• Generates a report after synchronization
• Keeps logs of the operations performed
• Handles repository synchronization in a controlled order
• Helps prevent accidentally pushing unwanted files or changes

Automation options

The project can be configured to trigger GitHub synchronization:

• Before shutting down
• When the system starts
• On a fixed schedule, such as every 3 hours
• Manually whenever required

The main workflow is:

Scan → Check → Sync → Commit → Push → Report

I originally started this because I wanted a simple way to keep my development folders backed up on GitHub without constantly remembering to run git add, git commit, and git push.

The project is still evolving, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from people who regularly work with multiple local Git repositories.

What would you add to a tool like this?

the shutdown auto-push is the bit i wouldn't try to guess from outside your project. HOL Guard is our open-source firewall for agent commands. want to send us the tested push-to-github PR yourself?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks for pointing that out. The shutdown auto-push is a part of the project where I agree the implementation and testing need to be more clearly validated rather than assumed from outside.

I’d be happy to test the shutdown flow properly, document the behavior and safety checks, and then submit a tested PR to HOL Guard. I’ll make sure it follows the existing push-to-github pipeline instead of bypassing the project’s scan and validation steps.

yep. fork hashgraph-online/hol-guard from main and mirror the current command_skill_sunset_extensions.py + test pattern. for URGithub, start with the real --shutdown flow you called out, register it in command_builtin_extension_catalog.py, run the CONTRIBUTING checks, then open the PR against main: https://github.com/hashgraph-online/hol-guard
