Hi folks,

is there a way to make git-push silent in a way that it only outputs something in case of error ?

I'm using it as a backup tool via cron scripts, and therefore I dont want any output when everything went okay.

If there's no such a feature/switch yet, could anyone give me a hint where/how to implement this ?

thx

Have you tried wrapping it in a shell script? That's what I do when virus-checking multiple webspaces and not wanting routine output unless there's a problem. If the return value (to the shell) is something other than zero then I return all of the output I captured to the user (and therefore it gets mailed to me by cron).

Not a solution on the git front, but I use cronic[1] to do this with arbitrary cron scripts (including some that do git pull/fetch). It traps all script output and is silent unless it encounters a nonzero return code. [1] http://habilis.net/cronic/
