The purpose of this repo is to sync teacher and student work to a repo so it can be shared and so it will not get lost.

To add a new computer to this repo, run these commands:

git config --global user.name slvusd-gitbot
git config --global user.email "ebrown+gitbot@slvusd.org"
git config --global credential.helper store

Then from pi's home directory, run

git -c credential.helper= clone https://github.com/slvusd/projects.git src

You will be prompted for the username (slvusd-github) and password. Get the password (token) from Mr. Brown.

You need to run $HOME/src/git_sync.sh once from the command line and enter the same credentials in order to have the credentials cached for cron.

Finally, run crontab -e and add the following entry:

*/5 * * * * /home/pi/src/git_sync.sh

That's it!
