#This script allows you to push the latest changes to remote git repo upon notebook deactivation
#This works with git clone through ssh.  If you use https to clone the repo, you could be prompted to enter username/pw which would cause the script to fail

# Set variables
REMOTE_REPO="<remote_repository>"  # Replace with the URL of your remote Git repository
BRANCH="<branch_name>"             # Replace with the name of the branch you want to push changes to
COMMIT_MESSAGE="<commit_message>"  # Replace with the commit message you want to use
CLONE_DIR="path/to/local/repor"    # Replace with the directory you want to version control

cd $CLONE_DIR

# Check if there are any changes
if [[ $(git status --porcelain) ]]; then
  # Changes detected, commit and push
  git add .
  git commit -m "$COMMIT_MESSAGE"
  git push $REMOTE_REPO $BRANCH
