This repository contains utility functions for the Autocommiter tool.

Autocommiter is a Python utility that automates the process of creating a local Git repository, setting up GitHub Actions for scheduled commits, and uploading the repository to GitHub.

• Create a local Git repository
• Set up GitHub Actions for scheduled commits
• Generate a comprehensive README
• Add a license to your project

Before using Autocommiter, make sure you have:

Python installed on your system A GitHub account with a personal access token

A Desktop application is also available for Windows users in case you don't have Python installed on your system.

1. Run the create_local_repository function.
2. Follow the prompts to provide a folder name and a TXT file name.
3. Schedule the automatic commits by entering a time in UTC.

The create_local_repository function automatically creates a GitHub Actions workflow file (.github/workflows/auto_commit.yml). This workflow is scheduled to run at the specified time every day.
