MSYS shell keeping script file open, preventing modifications
You could let the script re-exec itself. Split it like this:
#!/bin/shif test -z "$MYSCRIPT_REEXEC"; then : stuff you do before git pull exec env MYSCRIPT_REEXEC=1 sh -c "git pull; . '$0'"fi: stuff you do after git pullThis is a simple case, $0 may not contain apostrophs, and the arguments and any variables set in the first half are inaccessible. It’s hard to give a better generic example – maybe, if I could see the original script?
If this still does not work, try this one:
#!/bin/shif test -z "$MYSCRIPT_REEXEC"; then : stuff you do before git pull env MYSCRIPT_REEXEC=1 sh -c "sleep 1; git pull; . '$0'" & exit 0fi: stuff you do after git pullIn this case, though, return codes will also be all wrong, as will anything waiting for the script.
