Makefile - check git status

This target will exit a Makefile if the working directory is not clean. Great for making sure you’ve commited changes before doing a production build/deployment.

Makefile

git-status:
	@status=$$(git status --porcelain); \
	if [ ! -z "$${status}" ]; \
	then \
		echo "Error - working directory is dirty. Commit those changes!"; \
		exit 1; \
	fi
