This shell function is a hack to run git commands silently, e.g. for usage within build scripts

gistfile1.txt

quiet_git() {
    stdout=$(tempfile)
    stderr=$(tempfile)
    if ! git "$@" </dev/null >$stdout 2>$stderr; then
        cat $stderr >&2
        rm -f $stdout $stderr
        exit 1
    fi
    rm -f $stdout $stderr
}
