git-sync-on-inotify fails to get the remote URL

[emocibob]

Hi, thanks for the useful tool!

My issue is that contrib/git-sync-on-inotify fails to get the remote URL which is used in the following line in the script:

echo "Syncing $(git remote get-url $remote_name) at $(pwd) with a default sync interval of $GIT_SYNC_INTERVAL"

This is the message I see after running git-sync-on-inotify:

usage: git remote get-url [--push] [--all] <name>

    --push                query push URLs rather than fetch URLs
    --all                 return all URLs

Syncing  at [REDACTED] with a default sync interval of 500
Syncing due to timeout
...

The problem lies with this line:

remote_name=$(git config --get branch.$(basename $(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD)).pushRemote)

basename $(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD) works fine (returns main), but git config --get branch.main.pushRemote doesn't return anything.

This is not a critical issue since the remote URL is just used in an informational message for the user.

My git version: git version 2.37.0 (Apple Git-136).

I just confirmed the issue. Do you know an easy fix? I guess

remote_name=$(git config --get branch.$(basename $(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD)).remote)

would work fine.

Hi simonthum,

Sorry for the late reply, remote_name=$(git config --get branch.$(basename $(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD)).remote) fixes the issue on my end :)
