  6. LICENSE - MIT License

  7. .gitignore - Configured to protect:

    • alert_system.py (contains your real credentials)
    • Python cache files
    • Environment files
    • Model files (too large for git)

  8. .env.example - Template for environment variables

  9. alert_system_template.py - Public template without credentials

  10. safe_push.sh - Script to safely push to GitHub

🚨 BEFORE PUSHING TO GITHUB

Critical Security Check:

Your alert_system.py contains REAL API credentials. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Verify .gitignore is working

cd /Users/deepak/Downloads/Driver_Monitoring_System
git status

Expected: alert_system.py should NOT appear in the list If it appears: It will be committed with credentials! ⚠️

Step 2: Initialize Git Repository

# Initialize git
git init

# Check status
git status

Step 3: Verify alert_system.py is ignored

# This should show nothing if properly ignored
git ls-files | grep alert_system.py

If alert_system.py appears, run:

git rm --cached alert_system.py

Step 4: Stage files for commit

# Add all files (excluding those in .gitignore)
git add .

# Review what will be committed
git status

VERIFY: alert_system.py is NOT in the list!

Step 5: Commit changes

git commit -m "Initial commit: Driver Monitoring System with comprehensive documentation"

Step 6: Create GitHub Repository

  1. Go to https://github.com/new
  2. Repository name: Driver-Monitoring-System
  3. Description: "AI-powered driver monitoring system with real-time detection of drowsiness, phone usage, smoking, and mask compliance"
  4. Choose: Public or Private
  5. DO NOT check "Initialize with README" (we have one)
  6. Click "Create repository"

Step 7: Connect and Push

# Add GitHub remote (replace YOUR_USERNAME)
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/Driver-Monitoring-System.git

# Rename branch to main
git branch -M main

# Push to GitHub
git push -u origin main

🛡️ Alternative: Use the Safe Push Script

We've created a script that automates security checks:

./safe_push.sh

This script will:

  • ✅ Check for credentials in files
  • ✅ Verify .gitignore is working
  • ✅ Show what will be committed
  • ✅ Prompt for confirmation
  • ✅ Push to GitHub safely

📝 Customize Before Pushing

Update these placeholders in documentation:

In README.md:

# Line with GitHub links - replace YOUR_USERNAME
# Example: https://github.com/yourusername/Driver_Monitoring_System

Update Contact Information:

  • Email in README.md
  • Twitter/social handles
  • Your actual name (currently "Deepak")

Quick find and replace:

# Update GitHub username
find . -type f -name "*.md" -exec sed -i '' 's/yourusername/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/g' {} +

# Update email
find . -type f -name "*.md" -exec sed -i '' 's/your.email@example.com/your.actual@email.com/g' {} +
