# π€ Cheeky Commit Bot
A **totally legitimate commit bot** for GitHub that pushes once (_or as much as you want!_) a day, even when you're taking a nap or just staring into the void trying to figure out how are you going to afford a house in this economy. :trollface:
## π§ What Cheeky does:
**Cheeky** is a _tiny_ Bash script that:
- Appends the current date and time to a file (`records.txt`),
- Commits the change,
- And pushes it to your GitHub repo using SSH.
Set it up once and Cheeky takes care of your daily commit streak _like a charm_. π
_Cheeky cannot be held responsible for any raised eyebrows by hiring managers during interviews or is intended to treat commit anxiety. Use responsibly._
## βοΈ Quick Setup:
1. Clone this repo:
```
git clone git@github.com:yourusername/cheeky_commit_bot.git
cd cheeky_commit_bot
```
2. Make Cheeky executable:
```
chmod +x cheeky.sh
```
3. Add it to your crontab.
## :neckbeard: Beginner Setup Guides
Need **help** setting things up?
- π [SSH Setup Guide (Beginner-Friendly)](/docs/SSH-setup-guide.md)
- β° [Cron & Crontab Guide](/docs/cron-setup-guide.md)
These explain everything in plain English (_and a bit of sarcasm_), **highly recommended**.
## π§ͺ Tested On:
β
Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon (_and that's basically it_) :trollface:
## π Like Cheeky?
If this little bot made you chuckle, helped you keep your streak alive or taught you a thing or two about Bash; **consider leaving a βοΈ**!
I'm totally **open to contributions**, especially if you want to adapt Cheeky for other operating systems. Feel free to fork, PR or open an issue!
**Special thanks to [@AMarqs](https://github.com/AMarqs)** who kindly lent me an iPad so I could draw Cheekyβs beautiful face. β€οΈ
