My organization has 100s of Git repos. I like to keep my local clones up to date, so I'd like to know which ones need to be cloned instead of re-cloning everything which takes a lot of time. Is there a command that can tell me the last time a remote repo had an update? On any branch?
I've looked into performing a log query on the remote Git repos, but that doesn't appear to be possible
Agree with yorammi and Code-apprentice, +1 to both. So just to expand a little...
git fetch will update your local repo with any changes from the remote - but will not merge them.
Then you can use git status to see if there are any changes to merge in.
Then you can do a git merge to merge them in.
OR
git pull does a fetch and a merge, if you don't want to bother doing the checks
