Hi @heyTimApple . Read about building escript in elixir for small cli tool - Executables · Elixir School. And take a look at &System.cmd/3 function to run git.
Also as you working under windows, beware that all commands you want to run, should be in your PATH (e.g. git executable)

Hello and welcome,

Elixir needs to load the vm, which might not fit a command line tool.
You might still do it, but for this I would pick Rust.

If you want a small program that is run with Cron, Rust might be a better choice. That said if you want a long running little daemon (like a service), Elixir would be a good fit.

(Not that you cannot do no 1 in Elixir, you still get self contained executable and fast start up.)

From what you described, it seems like a job for a small perl script or even shell script.

Then just go for it.
