git-pusher

#! /bin/bash

# A quickly hacked script to push files to GIT/github while preserving their original modification dates as git commits' dates
# No licence. If you're gonna steal it, please retain this header, thanks!
# Set debug to echo if you don't want to screw up everything

# Instructions
# git init
# git remote add origin git@github.com:user/repo.git
#
# Use it this way for all files at once:
#     find . -type f  -not -path "*git*" -print0 | xargs -0 git-pusher
#
# or for individual files
#     git-pusher path/file

set -x

for i in "$@"; do
    name=`echo "$i" | sed 's/\.\///'` # strip ./ from `find` output

    export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="$mtime"
    export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$mtime"
    $debug git add "$name"
