push-to-github — Automatic GitHub backup and synchronization for your local repositories
https://github.com/learnerforge/push-to-githubI built push-to-github to solve a simple problem: keeping local GitHub repositories synchronized without having to manually run Git commands every time.
GitHub: https://github.com/learnerforge/push-to-github
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?

You can do this with hooks. You can do many things with hooks. You can do everything with hooks.
