Trigger git commit using form response

is there a way that I can trigger a git commit when a user submits their js form? I want to include the data submitted in the form in the description of the commit on github. I tried using multiple frameworks, but I didn't succeed.

Stack:

  • Im using bootstrap 5.1 for the ui.
  • Deploying on a static site on render.com
Solution

  • if you are using PHP, you can use the exec to execute a command.

    Basically, you can write a REST API that will run the exec functions.

    For example, let's use Laravel

    Route::post('commit', function(Request $request) {
  exec('cd /to/your/folder';
  exec('git add .');
  exec('git commit -m "'.$request->commitMessage.'"');
  exec('git push origin master');
});
