A script to automatically update the last updated of my resume. Run it as a post-commit hook.

resume-post-commit

#!/bin/bash
# This script automatically updates the Last updated section of my resume

# First, stash whatever changes that are left in the tree and should not be
# committed
git stash &> /dev/null

# Now get today's date and replace that in resume.tex
DATE=`date "+%d %B, %Y"`
sed "s/{Last updated.*}/{Last updated $DATE}/" resume.tex >resume.tex.tmp && mv resume.tex.tmp resume.tex
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
	exit $?
fi

# Disable the post-commit hook temporarily, otherwise it will cause an infinite
# loop
GITDIR=`git rev-parse --git-dir`
POSTHOOK="$GITDIR/hooks/post-commit"

mv $POSTHOOK $POSTHOOK.tmp

# Now commit the changes and pop the stash.
git commit -a --amend --no-edit --no-verify > /dev/null
git stash pop &> /dev/null

# Re-enable the post-commit hook
mv $POSTHOOK.tmp $POSTHOOK
