How to check if GIT has fully cloned a repository?

How can I check if git has successfully cloned a repository, and based on that result, execute commands inside the bash script?

I was trying some combinations of grep checking the output of git status but I've only managed to confuse myself more.

I'm ruining timeout 60s git clone ... so I must make sure the repository has cloned fully, and if it has not to skip whatever it would have done with the cloned data.

Your timeout command will return a non zero exit code if it terminates the program. Use that rather than checking the repository to see if it's cloned.
