I have a variable in bash:
branchName=$(git branch --show-current)
There are two options for the returned value:
banch name (e.g. master)
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
I want to check if branchName starts with fatal:
I have tried to check if it starts with master and it works:
if [[ $branchName == master* ]];
then echo "yes"
fi
echo $branchName
Output:
yes
master
but when I try to check if it starts with fatal: it does not work:
if [[ $branchName == fatal* ]];
then echo "yes"
fi
Output:
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
but when I try to check if it starts with fatal: it does not work:
It's because this is an error message and goes to stderr. What you capture is only the stdout.
A better approach is to check the return value instead. E.g.
if branchName=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null); then
echo "Branch is: $branchName"
else
echo "Error: can't get branch name"
fi
(If command succeeds, it'd return 0; any non-zero value is usually treated as failure. The if statement above would be "true" when git return 0).
But if you do want to capture stderr, you can do:
branchName=$(git branch --show-current 2>&1)

I am trying to create if statement which will check if repository with name X exists, if it doesn't => create it.
Made following code. It works, but when repository doesn't exists, then it shows error. I couldn't find any ways of removing that error in console. Make I was using &>/dev/null not in correct way...
myStr=$(git ls-remote https://github.com/user/repository);
if [ -z $myStr ]
then
echo "OMG IT WORKED"
fi
As soon as you completely silence git ls-remote I will suggest to check the exit code of the command ($?) rather than its output.
Based on your code you could consider a function in this way:
check_repo_exists() {
repoUrl="$1"
myStr="$(git ls-remote -q "$repoUrl" &> /dev/null)";
if [[ "$?" -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "REPO EXISTS"
else
echo "REPO DOES NOT EXIST"
fi
}
check_repo_exists "https://github.com/kubernetes"
# REPO DOES NOT EXIST
check_repo_exists "https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl"
# REPO EXISTS
I was doing a script for myself to summarize commands I use daily in one handy script. So basically I ended doing it with a conditional checking if the .git folder exists first but I'd like to make it more interesting and like so understand better the loop. My desire is to have a variable like:
"output=$(git status)" and if the result is 0, continue depending on the statement. If the result is other than 0, break the loop and end the script with a message like "the actual directory hasn't a .git repo".
I let you my first idea of it but without the git status as I don't know how to add it neither where to. Thank you guys!
set -e
gitrepo=true
while [ $gitrepo == true ]; do
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "not a git directory"
$gitrepo=false
else
read -p "Commit message: " commit
git commit -am "$commit"
fi
done
Try this: I did as Cyrus suggested:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
gitrepo=True
while [[ $gitrepo ]]; do
if [[ ! $? ]]; then
echo "not a git directory"
gitrepo=False
else
read -p "Commit message: " -r commit
git commit -am "$commit"
exit 0
fi
done
In our development environment, we have set up a NuGet local server (BaGet). We have adopted the Gitflow idea. When a library is ready to be released on Baget, the developer should first increase the Tag on the master branch (which needs to be approved first via a pull-request), then push the library to the Baget. We do this to keep the version of Git and Nuget in sync.
The process of keeping versions in sync (Git tag & NuGet version) is controlled manually by the developer and sometimes some team members forget to define the Git version tag and just push the library to Baget.
It would be a great help if the script could check the Current Git Tag before pushing the library to the Baget server, and only push it if the Tag and Version are the same. This can prevent pushing a version without matching Tag on git.
We use this script for pushing to Baget:
#!/bin/bash
clear
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
cd $DIR
ostype=`uname`
KEY=$NUGET_KEY
SOURCE=$NUGET_URL
while :
do
clear
echo "Input your package version: "
read version
Common="Dayan.Common/bin/Debug/Dayan.Common."$version".nupkg"
dotnet nuget push $Common -s $SOURCE -k $KEY
echo "press enter to continue ..."
read
done
Can I somehow check use git commands in the bash to get the Tag of the last commit on the master branch of the project, and check it with the user input for version?
One way to make that check would be to use the git command rev-list.
This command will output the commit SHA of the most recent commit:
$ git rev-list -n 1 HEAD
dfe4a9989b33e97f25645d79fd62900cc3209ec7
While this command will output the commit SHA of the tag 3.1.5:
$ git rev-list -n 1 "3.1.5"
a35117a201290b63b53ba6372dbf8bbfc68f28b9
The following example script should get you started:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Input your package version: "
read version
last_commit=$(git rev-list -n 1 HEAD 2>/dev/null)
last_commit_result=$?
if [ "$last_commit_result" != "0" ]; then
echo "Failed to get the SHA of the most recent commit"
exit 1
fi
version_commit=$(git rev-list -n 1 "$version" 2>/dev/null)
version_commit_result=$?
if [ "$version_commit_result" != "0" ]; then
echo "There is no commit with the tag: $version"
exit 1
fi
if [ "$last_commit" = "$version_commit" ]; then
echo "The most recent commit has the tag: $version"
else
echo "The most recent commit does NOT have the tag: $version"
fi
If you also want to make sure the script is only run from master then add this near the script's start:
active_branch=$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)
active_branch_result=$?
if [ "$active_branch_result" != "0" ]; then
echo "Failed to get the active branch"
exit 1
elif [ "$active_branch" != "master" ]; then
echo "The active branch is not master"
exit 1
fi
Is there a way in Git Bash to check if the working tree is clean, that is no uncommitted changes or untracked files?
I'm working on a bash script for my group to automate the process of daily rebasing working branches. Unclean working trees is a common problem. I can manually correct the problem by executing git checkout .. This would have the desired result most of the time, but not always, so I need to be able to have my script programatically check that the working directory/tree is clean.
The git-sh-setup script included with git contains a number of useful functions for working with git repositories. Among them is require_clean_work_tree:
require_clean_work_tree () {
git rev-parse --verify HEAD >/dev/null || exit 1
git update-index -q --ignore-submodules --refresh
err=0
if ! git diff-files --quiet --ignore-submodules
then
echo >&2 "Cannot $1: You have unstaged changes."
err=1
fi
if ! git diff-index --cached --quiet --ignore-submodules HEAD --
then
if [ $err = 0 ]
then
echo >&2 "Cannot $1: Your index contains uncommitted changes."
else
echo >&2 "Additionally, your index contains uncommitted changes."
fi
err=1
fi
if [ $err = 1 ]
then
test -n "$2" && echo >&2 "$2"
exit 1
fi
}
This is in addition to being able to check the output from git status --porcelain and/or git status -z if you need to be more specific about what the state currently is.
I've watched an excellent shell scripting course through a multitude of videos. Now that I think I am fairly familiar with the Bourne shell, I decided to write my first shell script.
Script goal: check if git working directory is clean. If so, overwrite working directory to a branch named deployment. Finally, push the deployment branch to origin.
I ended up with this code:
#!/bin/sh
######################################################
# Deploys working directory to git deployment branch.
# Requires that the working directory is clean.
######################################################
#check if the working directory is clean
if [ git diff-index --quiet HEAD ]
then
if [ git branch -f deployment ]
then
if [ git push origin deployment ]
then
echo
echo "OK. Successfully deployed to git deployment branch."
echo
exit 0 #success
else
echo
echo "Error: failed to push deployment branch to origin."
echo
exit 1 #failure
fi
else
echo
echo "Error: failed to create or overwrite deployment branch."
echo
exit 1 #failure
fi
else
echo
git status #show the status of the working directory
echo
echo "Error: working directory is not clean. Commit your changes first..."
echo
exit 1 #failure
fi
Unfortunately, this seems to give me an error: ./tools/deploygit: 9: [: git: unexpected operator
Why is this so? What operator am I using in if [ git diff-index --quiet HEAD ] that is unexpected?
As a bonus, do you have any suggestions or tips on how to improve the efficiency, logic or readability of this script?
In this statement:
if [ git diff-index --quiet HEAD ]
The [ is an alias for the test command, so what you're actually running is...
if test git diff-index --quiet HEAD ]
...which isn't what you mean. You don't need to use the test command in order to evaluate the result of a command; you should just do this:
if git diff-index --quiet HEAD
Take a look at the documentation for the if command:
$ help if
if: if COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; [ elif COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; ]... [ else COMMANDS; ] fi
The conditional argument to the if statement is command. Normally, the test command is used to make it look like other languages, but you can put any command there. Things that exit with a return code of 0 evaluate to true and anything else evaluates to false.
