Using Powershell and Git To Compile

I have been working on a PowerShell script that goes through all my git directories, with a goal of if there any changes to the remote, perform a pull and then compile the source.

I have a working script but when I did a manual pull I found that I was not pulling the information.

One of the repositories I pull from is the boost repository (https://github.com/boostorg/boost.git). This project has a main project and number of sub projects.

I am running this through PowerShell on Windows. I also have posh-git installed.

The first thing the script does is a cd into the git directory (... Boost\boost-git). After that I perform the following:

Write-Host "git status"
git status

Write-Host "git branch"
git branch

$RemoteBranch = git remote
Write-Host "Remote       : '$RemoteBranch'"

if ($RemoteBranch -ne $null) {
    $RemoteURL = git remote get-url --all $RemoteBranch
    Write-Host "Remote URL   : '$RemoteURL'"
}

Write-Host "`ngit branch | ForEach-Object { Get-GitStatus $_. }"
git branch | ForEach-Object {
    $status = Get-GitStatus $_.
    $status
    $BehindBy += $status.BehindBy
}

Write-Host "`ngit diff-index --quiet HEAD"
$GitHead = git diff-index --quiet HEAD
$GitHead
if ($GitHead -ne "") {
    Write-Host "`nNo Changes"
} else {
    Write-Host "`nChanges"
    $GitHead
}

Write-Host "`nBehindBy Sum $BehindBy"

if ($BehindBy -gt 0) {
    git fetch --all
}

While the script runs, I am not pulling the repository when the remote has been updated.

Any help would be greatly appreciated or let me know which commands I should be parsing.

After more searching I found the answer how to do this. It can be found at Check if pull needed in Git

Nice write up on different bash strategies that can be adapted to powershell, as the authors explain each of the commands.
