Daily Number Incrementer

A Python script that automatically increments a number in a text file, commits the change to Git, and updates a cron job to run the script at a new random time daily. Perfect for maintaining a daily commit streak or tracking sequential values with a dynamic schedule.

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Shogun89/fancy_job
cd fancy_job

2. Run the script manually for the first time to verify it works and to set the cron job:

python update_number.py

Optional: If you prefer to ensure the script runs at a fixed time initially, you can manually set up a cron job:

crontab -e

Add the following line to the crontab file:

0 6 * * * cd /path/to/your/repo && python update_number.py

This will initially run the script at 6am the next day.

Usage

The script will increment the number in number.txt and commit the change to git. You can modify the script to increment by any value or use a different file to store the number.

By running this you will be able get a fancy streak on your github profile and get a job.
