git-status

The goal is to get an unambiguous status that can be evaluated in a shell command. I tried git status but it always returns 0, even if there are items to commit. git status echo $? #this is always 0 I have an idea but I think it is rather a bad idea. if [ git status | grep -i -c "[a-z]"> 2 ]; then code for change... else code for nothing change... fi any other way? update with following solve, see Mark Longair's post I tried this but it causes a problem. if [ -z $(git status --porcelain) ]; then echo "IT IS CLEAN" else echo "PLEASE COMMIT YOUR CHANGE FIRST!!!" echo git status fi I get the

I love using Git to organize version control and backup all my web files in Wordpress. After updating plugins, I'd like to get the list of changes only on the direct subfolder by using git status . Typically if doing git status will a very long line of changes including the inner of each subfolder. what I'd like is to limit the result to the subfolders with the changes inside the plugins directory. For example, this git command: git status project_folder/wp-content/plugins will result to: plugins/wpml-translation-management/classes/translation-basket/ plugins/wpml-translation-management

I clone repository switch to my branch and when i print git status i see modify files, i try to do git reset --hard but there was no effect :(( git status On branch release Changes not staged for commit: modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansBoldC.eot modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansBoldC.svg modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansBoldC.ttf modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansBoldC.woff modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansC-Book.eot modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansC-Book.svg modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansC-Book.ttf modified: htdocs/fonts/OfficinaSansC-Book.woff no changes added to commit git

I have a file which has been already added to my local repository. I've modified it in the working tree, so git status shows me the file as modified. I would like to know what is the file content kept in the index before I stage the file. I can think of two ways of doing that: revert a patch generated by git diff , and apply it on the file in the working tree use git checkout-index , point to a temporary file and read the content from there Is there an easier way? grawity Use the : prefix to access objects in the current index (staged but not yet commited). git show :file See the gitrevisions

I want to colorize git-status output so that: untracked files = magenta new files = green modified files = blue deleted files = red I am instead seeing staged files in green and unstaged files in blue: My .gitconfig is setup with the following based on some searching: [color] status = auto [color "status"] added = green changed = blue untracked = magenta deleted = red VonC From git config doc : color.status.<slot> Use customized color for status colorization. <slot> is one of: header (the header text of the status message), added or updated (files which are added but not committed), changed

When do different git status unmerged states occur, like added by us , added by them or both deleted ? I've tried to reproduce the latter by performing a merge where a file has been deleted in the current and merged-from branch, but I was not able to create this status. You can get all three by renaming a file differently in each branch. git init touch foo git add foo git commit -m 'initial commit' git checkout -b tmp git mv foo X git commit -m 'rename to X' git checkout - git mv foo Y git commit -m 'rename to Y' git merge tmp Now you have all three states. $ git status # On branch master #

This question already has an answer here: Git command to show which specific files are ignored by .gitignore 9 answers I have configured numerous .gitignore files to filter out many different unwanted files from a set of about 6,000 untracked files. I want to do git add . when I've got my filtered list looking the way I want it. But, then I want to disable the .gitignore filters temporarily to see what got left behind, and make sure there was nothing important accidentally filtered. I know that git-clean includes an option to ignore .gitignore files . Is there a similar option for git-status ?

This command works to get the files and compile them: git clone a-valid-git-url for example: git clone git://cfdem.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cfdem/liggghts However, git status (or any other git command) then gives the above fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories) error. What am I doing wrong? You have to actually cd into the directory first: $ git clone git://cfdem.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cfdem/liggghts Cloning into 'liggghts'... remote: Counting objects: 3005, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2141/2141), done. remote: Total 3005 (delta 1052), reused 2714

I have a project with certain js files which I cannot update. I run OSX locally and my remote/staging server is Linux (CentOS). Right after cloning my project locally, i noticed I have all those files with git status modified . I never modified them, so I tried to discard changes or reset them, but they come up again. The change that is in the modification is deleting all lines and adding them again. I'm not sure why this happens or how to fix it so that my git status is clean as it needs to be. Here is a few lines from the git status: # modified: app/webroot/js/ckeditor/plugins/devtools/lang
