Copy all lastly updated files into a single directory if the version control is horribly not done by git:

Instantiate a git repository (don't need to connect to any remote branch, do everything locally). Create a .sh file at the current directory, and paste:

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

#!/bin/bash   git add . git status   updatedFiles=$(git status | awk '{print $2}' | grep -P "\..*$")   touch updates/update.txt git status > updates/update.txt   for file in $updatedFiles do     cp --parents "$file" ./updates     echo "copied $file to ./updates/$file" done;   read -p "Press enter to exit"

mkdir updates and then run the bash script above. Files will be copied into updates directory, and we can manage it by date.
