Open your command-line & navigate to whatever folder you prefer 2. Fork this project on GitHub 2. Download your new copy of this project Don't forget to include your username 3. Test run the script in case you need to fix permissions issues 4. Open your crontab to set a trigger NOTE: If this makes your screen almost blank with no toolbar of keys to navigate, you've probably entered the text editor Vim Remember, press \"i\" to start [i]nserting text When you're finished, press \"Esc\" repeatedly until nothing happens Then type \":wq\" to save & quit or \":q!\" to quit without saving 5. Add this line to schedule every 10pm or whenever Do not forget to include the correct folder path NOTE: Make sure you save your changes on your way out! To verify your cron installation: that should print the same line we just saved to your crontab Now, to celebrate, test your script 🎉","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/theshteves","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/theshteves/commit-bot/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
