    I think you need "2>/dev/null" for what you want.

      I'm relying on the order of parsing of pipes and redirection. git fetch -q 2>&1 >/dev/null </dev/null | cat is parsed as run this:

      git fetch -q 2>&1 >/dev/null </dev/null

      cat

      Then, git fetch -q 2>&1 >/dev/null </dev/null is
