在PublicDomain开源代码中有一个ProcessHelper类，你可能会感兴趣。

这里有一个简单的例子:

//Create process
System.Diagnostics.Process pProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

//strCommand is path and file name of command to run
pProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCommand;

//strCommandParameters are parameters to pass to program
pProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = strCommandParameters;

pProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

//Set output of program to be written to process output stream
pProcess.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;   

//Optional
pProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = strWorkingDirectory;

//Start the process
pProcess.Start();

//Get program output
string strOutput = pProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

//Wait for process to finish
pProcess.WaitForExit();

这里有一个小例子:

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var p = Process.Start(
            new ProcessStartInfo("git", "branch --show-current")
            {
                CreateNoWindow = true,
                UseShellExecute = false,
                RedirectStandardError = true,
                RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                WorkingDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory
            }
        );

        p.WaitForExit();
        string branchName =p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd().TrimEnd();
        string errorInfoIfAny =p.StandardError.ReadToEnd().TrimEnd();

        if (errorInfoIfAny.Length != 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"error: {errorInfoIfAny}");
        }
        else { 
            Console.WriteLine($"branch: {branchName}");
        }

    }
}

我相信这是最短的形式。

请注意，大多数命令行工具很容易混淆标准输出和标准错误，有时将它们组合成一个字符串是有意义的。

p.e exitcode有时也很有用。

上面的例子用于编写命令行工具，如果你想自己做的话。请注意，对于cli自动化，也可以使用Cake Frosten和Cake Git扩展。

您可以使用Process类启动任何命令行程序，并使用您创建的流阅读器(基于字符串或内存位置)设置Process实例的StandardOutput属性。流程完成后，您就可以在流上执行所需的任何diff。
