Well, this is for a "I'm connected to the net right now: please
refresh all of my git mirrors" script:
## (code here to cd to the right dir omitted)
git-fetch
if git-status | grep -v 'nothing to commit'
then echo UPDATE SKIPPED
else
if git-pull . origin | egrep -v 'up-to-date'
then git-log --pretty=short ORIG_HEAD..HEAD | cat
fi
fi
The log is just so I can quickly eyeball the interesting changes. The "cat"
is to keep git-log from starting a pager. (If there's a switch that does
*that* that I've overlooked, that'd be good too.)
