How to test whether the git repository is dirty?
git status can show this. But how to diagrammatically detect this in bash?
This piece of bash code works like a charm for me:
[[ $(git diff --shortstat 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != "" ]]
You can use it to build your script.
For example, print “dirty” or “clean”:
if [[ $(git diff --shortstat 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != "" ]]; then
echo "dirty"
else
echo "clean"
