Store git fetch output in a txt file
batch-file, git
Solution
The output is written to stderr, not to stdout. So you have to add `2>&1` to the command line.
Problem
I want to store the output of this command in a text file and this was my attempt: ``` git fetch -v --dry-run >test.txt ``` All what happens is it continues to write to the console and creates an empty txt file. On a high level, I am writing a batch file to determine if there are changes to update my local copy of the repository.
