Do you mean commit or publish instead of export?  Otherwise you might have
to keep track of whether you are exporting to buffer as a buffer still has
a default-directory.  It would be easier to publish.

That is a sane approach with github pages, indeed.

I did something similar when I used github pages, but with ox-publish.  My
‘:preparation-function’ was

(defun project-prep-function ()
  (interactive)
  (or (zerop (shell-command (format "cd %s && git checkout master" project-main-dir)))
      (error (format "error checking out master in %s" project-main-dir))))

And my ‘:completion-function’ was as follows where ‘project-tmp-dir’ the
‘:publishing-directory’.

(defun project-completion-function ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((cd (format "cd %s && " project-main-dir)))
    (shell-command (concat cd "git commit -am \"auto-check-in\""))
    (or (zerop (shell-command (concat cd "git checkout gh-pages")))
        (error (format "error checking out gh-pages in %s" project-main-dir)))
    (or (zerop (shell-command (format "mv %s/*.html %s"
                                      project-tmp-dir project-main-dir)))
        (error "error moving files"))
    (or (zerop (shell-command
                (concat cd "git add *.html && git commit -am 'updated html'")))
        (error "error adding html files"))
    (or (zerop (shell-command
                (concat cd "git push origin gh-pages")))
        (warn "error pushing gh-pages"))
    (or (zerop (shell-command (concat cd "git checkout master")))
(error "error checking out master"))))

If you use ox-publish you could auto-commit whenever you publish a
project.  But I guess you could also use a hook.  I use this to publish:

    emacs --batch --no-init-file --load publish.el --funcall org-publish-all

I do it via Gitlab CI, though, as I only want to keep track of source
files.

pages:
  script:
    - emacs --batch --no-init-file --load publish.el --funcall org-publish-all
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - public
