Handle secret info with: this

Enable the .sh to run by:

1. Set the script to be executable - chmod 744 ~/codes/dotfiles/backup_dotfiles.sh
2. Open crontab crontab -e
3. Add 0 9 * * MON cd ~/codes/dotfiles && ./backup_dotfiles.sh to run the backup_dotfiles script on Monday at 9 am.

• See Crontab.guru.

Note crontab can be kind of finicky.
