When majoring in Computer Science at my alma mater, our
CS 4410/5410: Operating Systems course was a requirement.
Along with that, I took the practicum course,

One day, my manager proposed to me a task that involved backing up a folder located on server that hosts the backend our that were used to template out Word documents that can be automatically generated. As multiple types of employees (both technical and non-technical) will be editing these JSP files at anytime, we wanted a way to schedule a backup of the folder. Thus, my task was to generate a script that could sync this folder to a local instance of a git repository, and then commit these changes to its remote repo.
