🤖 Autonomous Daily GitHub Commit & Push System (367 Days)

A fully autonomous system designed to push Python updates and commit code to GitHub every day for 367+ days continuously.

---

🌟 Two Automation Options

1. ☁️ Cloud Automation via GitHub Actions (Recommended)

• 100% Autonomous: Runs directly on GitHub's cloud servers.
• No PC Required: Your computer does not need to stay on or connected to the internet.
• Runs every day at the scheduled time (configured in .github/workflows/daily_commit.yml).

2. 💻 Local Automation via Windows Task Scheduler

• Runs locally on your Windows machine using auto_push.py.
• Can be scheduled using setup_scheduler.ps1.

🚀 Setup Guide (Cloud GitHub Actions)

Step 1: Initialize Git and Connect your GitHub Repo

In this project folder, run the following commands in terminal:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "🎉 Initial setup: 367-day autonomous GitHub commit system"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/<YOUR_USERNAME>/<YOUR_REPO_NAME>.git
git push -u origin main

Step 2: Enable Workflow Permissions on GitHub (Crucial!)

To allow GitHub Actions to commit and push changes back into your repository:

1. Open your repository on GitHub.com.
2. Click Settings (top bar).
3. In the left sidebar, click Actions -> General.
4. Scroll down to Workflow permissions.
5. Select "Read and write permissions".
6. Check "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests".
7. Click Save.

Step 3: Test Workflow Immediately

1. Go to the Actions tab on your GitHub repository.
2. Select "Autonomous Daily Python Push" in the left list.
3. Click "Run workflow" -> "Run workflow" (green button).
4. Watch the action run: it will execute main.py, generate the daily update, and push the new commit to main!

⏰ Changing the Schedule Time

The schedule is defined in .github/workflows/daily_commit.yml using standard cron format:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * *' # Runs at 00:00 UTC every day

Examples (UTC Timezone):

• '0 0 * * *' -> 12:00 AM UTC
• '0 6 * * *' -> 6:00 AM UTC
• '30 14 * * *' -> 2:30 PM UTC
• '0 18 * * *' -> 6:00 PM UTC

(Note: Convert your local time to UTC when setting the cron).

---

💻 Optional: Local Windows Automation

If you also want your computer to run and push updates locally:

1. Open PowerShell in this folder as Administrator.
2. Run:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
   .\setup_scheduler.ps1 -Time "09:00"

   (Replace "09:00" with your preferred local time in 24h format).
