📘 AutoGitUploader Guide

A C++ tool to automate uploading files to GitHub repositories. Perfect for backups, deployments, or syncing workflows! 🚀

---

🌟 Features

• Recursive directory scanning
• Skip hidden files/directories (configurable)
• Base64 encoding for GitHub API compliance
• Update existing files using SHA checks
• Simple JSON configuration

---

🛠️ Prerequisites

• libcurl (for HTTP requests)
• nlohmann/json (JSON parsing)
• C++17 compiler

Install dependencies on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev

---

⚙️ Installation

1. Clone the repository (or download AutoGitUploader.cpp):

   git clone https://github.com/Niosjai/AutoGitUploaderIncpp.git
   cd AutoGitUploaderIncpp

2. Compile the code:

   g++ -std=c++17 -o autogituploader AutoGitUploader.cpp -lcurl -lstdc++fs

---

🔧 Configuration

Create a config.json file:

{
  "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token",
  "GITHUB_USERNAME": "your_username",
  "REPO_NAME": "your-repo",
  "BRANCH": "main",
  "HIDDEN": false
}

• 🔒 Token Guide: Create a GitHub token here with repo scope.
• HIDDEN: true skips files/directories starting with ..

---

🚀 Usage

./autogituploader

Example Output:

✅ src/main.cpp
✅ docs/README.md
❌ failed_file.txt

---

📝 Notes

• Files automatically skipped:
  config.json, autogituploader, *.bak, and hidden files (if HIDDEN: true).
• Commit message is hardcoded as:
  "uploaded via automation script by mario 🚀".

---

🚨 Troubleshooting

• Compilation errors: Ensure libcurl and nlohmann/json are installed.
• Permission denied: Run chmod +x autogituploader.
• API failures: Verify token permissions and repo name.
