JCB Power Updater

The JCB Power Updater is a script that automates the process of updating Git repositories in a specified directory. It goes through each directory and, if it's a Git repository, checks for any local changes. If changes are detected, it stages, commits, and pushes the changes. If a directory is not a Git repository, the script initializes a new Git repository, stages, and commits the files, then displays a message to link the new repository to a remote one.

The script can be installed, updated, and uninstalled with the following command-line options:

bash <(curl -s https://git.vdm.dev/api/v1/repos/octoleo/jcb-power-updater/raw/src/jcb-power-updater.sh) --install

This command downloads the script, installs it in /usr/local/bin/, sets up a systemd service and timer, and creates a log directory and file.
