Commit and push automatically on certain hour or date with Git

Question

Is it possible to commit and push automatically on certain hour or date with Git?

I personally use the client SourceTree in Windows operating system.

Why would you want to commit automatically? In the spirit of Git, commits act as *meaningful* steps in the progress in a project, not merely what the project looked like at some arbitrary time. — jub0bs, Oct 07 '15 at 17:26

Sorry, I forgot to specify that I use **Windows**. Your answer would be very useful in **Ubuntu**, Linux. – Julian Moreno Oct 07 '15 at 15:06

I can read how to schedule a task that runs every N hours, but I'm not very sure what would be the exact command. – Julian Moreno Oct 13 '15 at 03:12
`git commit -a -m "Automatic commit"; git push` ? – BartBog Oct 13 '15 at 09:11
That's the command to **commit** and **push**, but it refer to the **Schtasks** command. – Julian Moreno Oct 13 '15 at 14:23
