Can I Use GitHub for Managing Directories and Files in my External Hard Disk?

Question

I am on Windows 7

I Want to use GitHub or some similar software to Manage my External Hard Disk

There are movies and serials in my External Hard Disk

Can I make a record of who added new movies or deleted some movies

Can I do it with GitHub or suggest some other software ?

Answer 1

It seems there is no current utility program that can run on your External Hard Disk and log all the past modification on it.

This program should be made by your constructor and he is probably not giving you such service.

All you can do to keep traking thses information is to keep a script with the history of modifications in it. For exemple :

Nov 27, 2014 - Fumbo - Adding New Serie : The Flash
Nov 27, 2014 - Fumbo - Removing Film : Frozen.mkv

To do so you can make a python script that will take some parameters and create the log line.

python logging.py add-serie "The Flash"
python logging.py rm-film "Frozen.mkv"

That script utility could be limitless.

Or you can also keep track of it by hand in the file, I think the usage of git here is too much.

Hope that helped you.
