Bash compare a list of file
Dear all,

I believe this is a Bash basic question... I am bit ashamed for asking actually...
I want to create a Bash script that compares 2 different folders:
1) work_folder
and
2) work_folder.git

Code:
#!/bin/bash

FOLDER_NAME=`pwd | awk -F/ '{ print $NF }' | awk -F. '{ print $1 }'`

printf "DEBUG: VAR FOLDER_NAME=%s\n" "$FOLDER_NAME"

LIST_OF_FILE_SRC=`ls -lht ../"$FOLDER_NAME | grep "^-" | awk '{ print $NF }'`

printf "DEBUG: VAR LIST_OF_FILE_SRC=%s\n" "$LIST_OF_FILE_SRC"

for FILE in "$LIST_OF_FILE_SRC" ;
do

printf "DEBUG: VAR FILE=%s\n" "$FILE"
printf "another file inside the FOR loop\n:"

done;

Unfortunately inside the FOR loop I do not get a the list of file ONE by ONE...
I wish to do some treatments and some git auto commit in the git folder tracking the work folder.

But my problem at this stage would be resolved if:
Anyone could explain to me how to retrieve the list of file, file by file?

Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

Kindest regards,

Freddie

GIT-SH-I18N(1)                                                      Git Manual                                                      GIT-SH-I18N(1)

NAME

       git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"

DESCRIPTION

       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
       scripts and/or are writing new ones.

       The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
       wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
       systems without GNU gettext.

FUNCTIONS

       gettext
           Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
           a later version.

       eval_gettext
           Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
           i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.

GIT

       Part of the git(1) suite
