我基于@jberger的评论来解决这个问题。

if git checkout master &&
    git fetch origin master &&
    [ `git rev-list HEAD...origin/master --count` != 0 ] &&
    git merge origin/master
then
    echo 'Updated!'
else
    echo 'Not updated.'
fi

这一行在zsh中为我工作(来自@Stephen Haberman的回答)

git fetch; [ $(git rev-parse HEAD) = $(git rev-parse @{u}) ] \
    && echo "Up to date" || echo "Not up to date"

运行git fetch (remote)来更新你的远程引用，它会告诉你什么是新的。然后，当您签出本地分支时，它将显示它是否落后于上游。

因为尼尔的回答对我帮助很大，这里是一个没有依赖关系的Python翻译:

import os
import logging
import subprocess

def check_for_updates(directory:str) -> None:
    """Check git repo state in respect to remote"""
    git_cmd = lambda cmd: subprocess.run(
        ["git"] + cmd,
        cwd=directory,
        stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
        check=True,
        universal_newlines=True).stdout.rstrip("\n")

    origin = git_cmd(["config", "--get", "remote.origin.url"])
    logging.debug("Git repo origin: %r", origin)
    for line in git_cmd(["fetch"]):
        logging.debug(line)
    local_sha = git_cmd(["rev-parse", "@"])
    remote_sha = git_cmd(["rev-parse", "@{u}"])
    base_sha = git_cmd(["merge-base", "@", "@{u}"])
    if local_sha == remote_sha:
        logging.info("Repo is up to date")
    elif local_sha == base_sha:
        logging.info("You need to pull")
    elif remote_sha == base_sha:
        logging.info("You need to push")
    else:
        logging.info("Diverged")

check_for_updates(os.path.dirname(__file__))

我使用了一个基于Stephen Haberman回答的脚本版本:

if [ -n "$1" ]; then
    gitbin="git -C $1"
else
    gitbin="git"
fi

# Fetches from all the remotes, although --all can be replaced with origin
$gitbin fetch --all
if [ $($gitbin rev-parse HEAD) != $($gitbin rev-parse @{u}) ]; then
    $gitbin rebase @{u} --preserve-merges
fi

假设此脚本名为Git -fetch-and-rebase，可以使用本地Git存储库的可选参数目录名来调用它，以执行操作。如果调用脚本时不带参数，则假定当前目录是Git存储库的一部分。

例子:

# Operates on /abc/def/my-git-repo-dir
git-fetch-and-rebase /abc/def/my-git-repo-dir

# Operates on the Git repository which the current working directory is part of
git-fetch-and-rebase

这里也有。

在阅读了许多答案和多个帖子，并花了半天时间尝试各种排列之后，这就是我想出的。

如果你在Windows上，你可以使用Git for Windows提供的Git Bash在Windows中运行这个脚本(安装或移植)。

这个脚本需要参数

- local path e.g. /d/source/project1
- Git URL e.g. https://username@bitbucket.org/username/project1.git
- password

if a password should not be entered on the command line in plain text,
then modify the script to check if GITPASS is empty; do not
replace and let Git prompt for a password

脚本将会

- Find the current branch
- Get the SHA1 of the remote on that branch
- Get the SHA1 of the local on that branch
- Compare them.

如果脚本打印了更改，那么您可以继续获取或拉取。脚本可能效率不高，但它为我完成了工作。

更新- 2015-10-30:stderr to dev null，防止将URL和密码打印到控制台。

#!/bin/bash

# Shell script to check if a Git pull is required.

LOCALPATH=$1
GITURL=$2
GITPASS=$3

cd $LOCALPATH
BRANCH="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"

echo
echo git url = $GITURL
echo branch = $BRANCH

# Bash replace - replace @ with :password@ in the GIT URL
GITURL2="${GITURL/@/:$GITPASS@}"
FOO="$(git ls-remote $GITURL2 -h $BRANCH 2> /dev/null)"
if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
  echo cannot get remote status
  exit 2
fi
FOO_ARRAY=($FOO)
BAR=${FOO_ARRAY[0]}
echo [$BAR]

LOCALBAR="$(git rev-parse HEAD)"
echo [$LOCALBAR]
echo

if [ "$BAR" == "$LOCALBAR" ]; then
  #read -t10 -n1 -r -p 'Press any key in the next ten seconds...' key
  echo No changes
  exit 0
else
  #read -t10 -n1 -r -p 'Press any key in the next ten seconds...' key
  #echo pressed $key
  echo There are changes between local and remote repositories.
  exit 1
fi
