Implement a solution that allows for automated updated of file headers.

Late date edited, author, etc etc.?

2. Create a Pre-Commit Hook
   Navigate to the .git/hooks directory in your repository:

bash
cd your-repo/.git/hooks
Create or edit the pre-commit file:

bash
touch pre-commit
chmod +x pre-commit # Make it executable
Add the script to modify headers: Here’s an example script in pre-commit:

bash
#!/bin/bash

#Define the date and author to insert in the headers
CURRENT_DATE=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d")
AUTHOR=$(git config user.name)

#Update headers in specific file types (e.g., Python files)
for file in $(git diff --cached --name-only | grep -E ".py$"); do
#Replace or update the "Last Changed" line
sed -i '' -E "s/(# Last Changed: ).*/\1$CURRENT_DATE/" "$file"

#Optionally update other fields like author
sed -i '' -E "s/(# Author: ).*/\1$AUTHOR/" "$file"

#Re-add the modified file to the Git staging area
git add "$file"

done
