Something like: ``` #!/usr/bin/bash qvm-copy-to-vm $1 $2 qvm-run $2 'mv /home/user/QubesIncoming/dom0/$1/* <path-to-git-repo>' qvm-run $2 'rm -rf /home/user/QubesIncoming/dom0/$1 ' ``` in dom0. Depending on how you have configured git access you may also be able to commit and push as part of the same script. Without knowing your configuration I suspect that the rest wont be helpful. (Hint - just try at the coommand line in dom0 - get it working and then add to the script.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
