Linux – How to auto commit to the git repository using cron

bashcrongitlinuxscript

I look into a lot of answers about this subject, but something is wrong here, let me explain.
I create this script, to make my cron cleaner 🙂

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/valter.silva/Development/git/valter/ 
/usr/bin/git add -A 
/usr/bin/git commit -am "update `date`"
/usr/bin/git push

Then add it at my cron, valter.silva's cron, not my root cron:

00 * * * * /home/valter.silva/Development/git/valter/scripts/git/sync.sh

Restart my cron

sudo service cron restart
cron stop/waiting
cron start/running, process 6047

Aaand .. nothing happens..

But if I execute my script in command line, everything works fine.
I know for a fact that sometimes if you don't put the whole path at cron scripts won't work correctly. And that I should use my cron to do that, not root's cron.

So what's wrong here ?
Any ideas ? Thank you!

udpate

I follow Terdon suggestion, into log the operation, but it seems everything is okay, but not the push process though. Why ?

I am not an git master, but I make some git tests on my local git test repo. When I run git push, then output is:

fatal: No configured push destination.
Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using

git remote add <name> <url>

and then push using the remote name

git push <name>

Q: Have you configured remote repository using git remote add command? If yes, try run git push with name of remote repository. If no, configure one, or use git push with remote repository url on command line (git push git://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/ ).
