Show only shell errors inside file

Question

I want to put all errors inside a file and prevent errors and success messages from printing on the screen. I only want to store the error message.

When I do this like the code below, the errors and success messages are shown on the screen and also inside the error.out file.

git ls-remote "$GIT_SSH_URL/$REPO.git" 2>&1 > /dev/null | tee error.out

Get rid of the 2>&1 > /dev/null | tee error.out part first. 2>&1 combines the errors and the output, which you don't want, and tee prints the input it gets, which you also don't want.

> /dev/null suppresses output, and 2> error.out sends errors to the file.

Redirect the whole thing to /dev/null then so ...git" > /dev/null 2>&1 – Raman Sailopal Aug 08 '17 at 07:52
