The intention of the redirection to /dev/null is to hide the output 'hash: no such command: git' since we rely on the exit status. However, the output goes to stderr, so it's stderr that needs to be redirected. For completeness, we redirect both stderr and stdout using '2>&1'. Example: [~]$ hash git > /dev/null [~]$ PATH='' [~]$ hash git > /dev/null hash: no such command: git [~]$ hash git > /dev/null 2>&1 [~]$master
