Description

This library can be used to sync a folder from your device to GitHub. This is a fun project, and I do not recommend pushing the large files.

Installation

npm i github-folder-sync

Usage example

import { homedir } from 'os'
import { join } from 'path'
import { GitHubFolderSync } from 'github-folder-sync'

const gitHubFolderSync = new GitHubFolderSync(
  join(homedir(), 'Desktop', 'my-folder'),
  60_000 * 5, // Sync in every 5 minutes.
  'some-repo',
  'ghp_c23sd2lMESl5nZsDs4Szzsj5Na2SiS1Yu62k',
  'datomarjanidze',
  'main'
)

gitHubFolderSync.start()
