Question

I don’t really know where to begin with this as I am not very good at git, and am new to running php scripts via command line.

What I would like to be able to do is make a call in my php script (ran via command line on unix) that will figure out what files are staged to be commit, and return them preferably in an array.

• This script will be ran from home ~/
• The repos are in ~/repos/

I wouldn’t mind passing in the repo name to a function that returns this array.
