C＃如何检查git存储库是否已更新

Question

I would like to do a C# program that checks every x times if an online git repository (let's say a specific subdirectory) was updated and if so, download it to a specific folder. The thing is that I don't even know how to do the first step. I looked up the internet and I found a library called libgit2sharp. I don't know git very well but I saw that I can get the sha string of a commit with libgit2sharp so maybe that could help. Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Use the git 'fetch' command to check for new commits.

You can also use gitbash and parse the result it is quite simple.
