Automate the notification of GRADCAFE data points.
This script will fetch the result into results file, and
commit it with git. By doing so, we can send out git patch file
to our email address and view the difference quickly.
I hate to check the website every minute, which makes me anxious and depressed. So, I automate it and get rid of it from this stuff.

We can automate notification via email by usign email API service such as mailgun.
There is a git post-commit template in scripts/post-commit to help this,
after filling the required fields in the template, then copy post-commit into
your .git/hooks/ directory.
After each successful commit, it will trigger this hook and send out a git patch to your email address.
Last step, we can use crontab to schedule it runs every x minutes.
