Hi all, This is a bit silly but I'm trying to time how long it takes to enter a Git controlled directory. I guess this is more of a GNU/Linux question then anything else. I've noticed that entering a Git controlled project directory takes quite some time so I wanted to measure exactly how much (it's the prompt I'm using that's taking the time, I suspect). I first tried (a bit naive, I admit :-) ) time cd my-project This doesn't work of course. Obviously, writing a script doesn't work either because then the prompt isn't calculated. Next I tried date +%H:%M:%S.%N ; cd my-project-abc ; date +%H:%M:%S.%N but, surprisingly (to me), that doesn't work either. It simply prints the two timestamps and *then* does the cd (or, at least, that's how it seems to behave). So how would one do this? :-) Cheers, Hilco P.S. This slow cd is only the first time, afterwards things have been cached. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
