A simple bash script to watch a git repository and pull upstream changes if needed.

git-repo-watcher's Issues

change_pulled hook not being called

I'm seeing errors when the script pulls changes;

./git-repo-watcher: eval: line 92: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
./git-repo-watcher: eval: line 93: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Run against these versions of bash;

GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin17)
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

and

GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
Copyright (C) 2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

with the second being inside a docker container.

Disable endless loop check

Hey, added some IF statements to add feature if I do "-i 0" it will run just once. Which is great for run it through cron once in a while and not "endlessly".
Would be cool if it had from start, otherwise it's perfect, THANKS

push to another repo

Well I know if I request this, it;s not match with the name of this script 😃
But, please consider to add a function to push to another repo.
The purpose is I wanted to create a backup repo, so everytime there's a change on a repo, after a pull, it will push to another repo.
Thanks.

Edit: Hmm looks like it can be done using hooks 😄 but how to do:
git pull origin master, then:
git push backup master

Bad Substitution at line 114

Fantastic! However, I got errors when pulling changes:
./git-repo-watcher: line 114: ${commit_message@Q}: bad substitution

Version of bash:
GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-koji-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Solution: Update bash version to at least v4.4 or get rid of the echo line printing the commit message

Keep it up!!!

does it support windows?

I can see the directory path is prefixed by "/" by default
If we can get the environment os and prepend if in Linux or Mac would be supported?
