Communicate to user when Update actually changes a plugin #76

Closed NHDaly closed 1 year ago

Hi! Tpm is amazing. I'm very on board with this direct, git-style plugin management, a la Vundle, oh-my-zsh, etc. Thanks! :)

That said, there is currently no indication after updateing plugins as to which if any plugins were actually updated. So there is no way to know what's changed.

It would be nice if for each plugin update attempt made, it displayed information about what happened: was the plugin actually updated or not. And if so, maybe some information about what changed?

I actually really like the approach oh-my-zsh takes, where the update message is just the output from git, plus some extra syntactic sugar.

Actually, a first pass might just be to stop porting the git update output to /dev/null? What do you think?

Thanks!

Specifically, the use-case I'm trying to address here, is that I want to know when the syntax/behavior/settings has changed for a plugin I'm using, so that I can know to check the docs.

Thanks! :)

Nice idea, I like it.

I'm currently swamped with work so I can't tackle this myself, but a PR (preferably minimal) would be welcome.

Okay, yeah, thanks! I've sent along a PR to do it! Hopefully it's minimal enough. :)
