# Descartes Underwriting
## Context
We wish to create a backup tool that will save only the last modified files of a storage unit.
In our example, the storage unit is **not a bucket**.
The storage unit is a git repository called `devops-technical-test-data`.
The repository `devops-technical-test-data` is not frozen and will have new commits.
Commits will be added to the `datestamp-test` branch on the `devops-technical-test-data` repository.
## Task
Develop a backup tool to save the modified files at each commit.
### Submission
Script and data should be saved on a private `descartes-backup-project` repository on your github account.
Access should be granted to all members of the `descartes-underwriting` group:
<https://github.com/orgs/descartes-underwriting/people>
### Script
Create a script to automate the backup process using open source software.
The script should track the branch `datestamp-test` of the repository.
The execution of the script should be carried with a github-action / gitlab-pipeline or any other git automated workflow.
### Data
The backup should store files in separate folders.
The backup file structure should be based on the sha1 of the `devops-technical-test-data`.
## File structure example
For the following commits on the `devops-technical-test-data`:
| SHA | OPERATION |
|-----|-----------|
| Commit_N | create readme.md |
| Commit_N+1 | create doc.txt |
| Commit_N+2 | create data/test/test.txt |
| Commit_N+3 | append text to ./doc.txt |
| Commit_N+4 | create test/project/project1.txt |
The `candidate_backup_repository` should have
```bash
$ tree .
.

│   └── workflows
│   └── my-lovely-workflow.yml
