                        autocommit]

Copy git-autocommit to some directory in your $PATH and run git autocommit in the root of the git repository. It also automatically adds files to the repository, so you should list everything you don't want added in .gitignore.

The commits are performed into a branch called autocommit. They can be merged back into master with git autocommit merge.
