Can git operate in "silent mode"?

Question

Is it possible to execute any git command in "silent" mode? For instance, can i say "git push origin" and see nothing displayed on the screen?

I suppose i can redirect IO to /dev/null (works fine), but .. does git allow something like this naturally?

Below is a quick script that does automatic EOD commit, used when i need to catch the train and don't want to leave code on my local computer

  1 clear
  2
  3 cd
  4 cd repo/active
  5
  6 for i in *
  7 do
  8   cd $i
  9   echo "Pushing " $i
 10   git add . -A >> /dev/null 
 11   git commit -a -m "EOD automatic commit" >> /dev/null 
 12   git push origin >> /dev/null 
 13   echo
 14   cd ..
 15 done

Please let me know.

You can use --quiet or -q, which can also be used for other Git commands:

git commit --quiet
git push --quiet
