Ceep Github streak

This is a program that im running on a raspberry pi 5 to Ceep my github streak. It commit's a massage into this README.md file once every day its running.

Tools:

• crontab -e
• bash

scripts:

• Mac OS script = macscript.sh
• Raspberry pi script = raspscript.sh
• No version for windows

NOTE: I have just tried this to run this on a raspberry pi 5 with linux mint installed dont know if it will need a different setup if there is another distro.

How it works

• This project uses crontab to set a rimainder to run this script once every day
• The script.sh file contains a bash script that opens the README.md file and types a massage to Ceep Github streak 🎉
• The script also count's the Total count and + 1 for each time it runs

Conditions to the script:

• See the Highest held streak: If the streak is higher than the Highest held streak the Total count now amount becomes the new Highest held streak amount.

• Add the last time the streak was updated in the Last updated to see the last date it was updated.

• Show the Total count now of the streak by counting the massages under the List of prints.

• If the Last updated date isnt from the day erlyer the List of prints gets viped and the Total count now gets set back to 0.

• NOTE: This project is still under development so all the condisions may not be put into practice yet
