I am relatively new to github and have been trying to program a system for my discord.js bot which would update the bot’s code with my private repositories. For that system I have 3 repositories. The first one authCodeRepoUrl is the repository I made for the general code of the bot (commands, events etc.), so it should always download the newest code from that Repository. The second one is authDataRepoUrl which is for the Data my bot stores in .json files, it should check which file is newer and depending on that change either local or remote Data files. The third one authBackupRepoUrl is so I backup the entire folder from any device into the repository, so I can always check the folder.
Now I have been trying to do this and when i had issues i asked a AI to help me fix the issues, but I’m not sure if that really helped, so I want to ask here for help (sorry in advance).
My code looks like this:
const { exec } = require('child_process');
const path = require('path');
const fs = require('fs');
require('dotenv').config();
const os = require('os');
const codeRepoUrl = process.env.CODE_REPO_URL;
const dataRepoUrl = process.env.DATA_REPO_URL;
const backupRepoUrl = process.env.BACKUP_REPO_URL;
const token = process.env.GITHUB_PAT;
const allowedHost = 'ncpi';
const currentHost = os.hostname();
if (!codeRepoUrl || !dataRepoUrl || !backupRepoUrl || !token) {
console.error('[ERROR] CODE_REPO_URL, DATA_REPO_URL, BACKUP_REPO_URL, or GITHUB_PAT is not set in .env');
process.exit(1);
}
const codeRepoPath = path.join(__dirname, './');
const dataRepoPath = path.join(__dirname, 'Data');
const logFilePath = path.join(dataRepoPath, 'sync_log.txt');
const authCodeRepoUrl = codeRepoUrl.replace('https://', `https://${token}@`);
const authDataRepoUrl = dataRepoUrl.replace('https://', `https://${token}@`);
const authBackupRepoUrl = backupRepoUrl.replace('https://', `https://${token}@`);
