.SYNOPSIS Safe wrapper for invoking the git CLI. .DESCRIPTION git writes informational messages (e.g. "Switched to a new branch 'X'") to stderr, not stdout. Under $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop', merging that stderr with 2>&1 turns those normal messages into terminating errors. This wrapper runs git with the error preference set to 'Continue' so stderr never aborts the pipeline; callers check $LASTEXITCODE for genuine failures. Declared with no parameters so raw argv (including -C and --flags) flows straight through $args to git. Not exported. #> function Invoke-Git { $eap = $ErrorActionPreference $ErrorActionPreference = 'Continue' try { & git @args 2>&1 | ForEach-Object { if ($_ -is [System.Management.Automation.ErrorRecord]) { $_.ToString() } else { $_ } } } finally { $ErrorActionPreference = $eap } } |
