Folks,
Is there a "dry-run" flag for git-pull and git-fetch
that I missed somewhere?
Specifically, I'm looking for a "git pull -n foo"
command that would tell me, as output, the gross-level
effect without actually doing the steps. That is,
I'd expect something like:
Fetching from remote "foo"
URL: git://example.com/pub/foostuff.git
Remote branch: foo/main into remote/foo/main
Remote branch: foo/testing into remote/foo/testing
Merging:
Remote foo/main into local heads/master
Or something down that line. Basically parrot the
config file plus command line effect back at the
user as a sanity check first.
Thanks,
jdl
