Run git from .bat file (Windows)
Hello,
I'm trying to get the script below working on a box with Windoze XP and git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0. The script is a .bat file and is supposed to be run from the Windoze scheduler; for testing, I run it from a command prompt.
Here's the script:
=================8<==================8<===================== @ECHO OFF
REM get date and time
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('date/t') do @set mydate=%%a for /f "delims=" %%a in ('time/t') do @set mytime=%%a set fvar=%mydate%%mytime%
REM add all new files
git add .
git commit -a -m "Automated commit by org-git-sync.bat on %fvar%" ================>8===================>8======================
The line "git add ." works, as I can see the additions when I type "git status" after executing the script. Committing doesn't work, however:
"git log" shows that no commit was created.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks
Markus

git itself is wrapped by a batch file on Windows. You need to "call" it. eg:
call git add .
call git commit ...
("call /?" for more details)
