• Visibility: Public or Private
• Do NOT initialize with README (optional but recommended)

Copy the repo URL: https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git

2. Install the application

Run the installer:

AutoCommitterInstaller.exe

It will install the app to:

C:\Program Files\AutoCommitter

---

3. First launch setup

When you first run the app, it will start silently in the system tray.

You must manually configure it:

1. Look at the system tray (bottom-right corner of Windows)
2. Click the hidden icons arrow (˄) if needed
3. Right-click the AutoCommitter icon
4. Click Set HTTPS URI
5. Paste your GitHub repository URL (HTTPS or SSH)
6. The app will initialize the Git repository automatically and create the local config

Example repository URL:

https://github.com/your-username/your-repo.git

After setup, the app will start tracking and committing automatically.

4. How it works internally

Each time a commit runs:

1. The app appends a timestamp to:

log.txt

2. It runs:

git add .
git commit -m "Auto commit <timestamp>"
git push origin main
