Re: [git] how to check remote git repo for updates without pull/fetch

[James Cloos <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is the script I use:

#!/bin/bash
#
# does this git repo need a pull?
#
l=$(git log|head -1|awk '{print $NF}')
r=$(git ls-remote origin heads/master|awk '{print $1}')
test "${r}" != "${l}"
