Setting Up a Cron Job to Run Every 5 Minutes

To create a cron job that runs every 5 minutes and executes your Python script, follow these steps:

1. Save the Python Script

Save the Python script you provided into a file, for example daily_commit.py.

2. Make the Script Executable (Optional but Recommended)

Change the file permissions to make the script executable.

chmod +x /path/to/daily_commit.py

3. Edit the Crontab File

Open your crontab file for editing by running the following command in your terminal:

crontab -e

4. Add the Cron Job

Add the following line to the crontab file to run the script every 5 minutes.

*/5 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/daily_commit.py

Make sure to replace /usr/bin/python3 with the path to your Python interpreter if it's different, and /path/to/daily_commit.py with the actual path to your script.
