GitHub Auto Backup for Windows (PowerShell + Task Scheduler)

Automatically back up any local Git repository (Obsidian vaults, Jupyter projects, code folders, notes, etc.) to GitHub by running:

• git add -A
• git commit -m "auto backup: <timestamp>" (only if changes exist)
• git push

Designed to run reliably from Windows Task Scheduler and writes logs for debugging.
