You can do that (and pretty much anything else command-liney that you need to do) from the IDE by spawning a shell using RUN-PROGRAM.  You can simplify this considerably using my bashlink utility, which is part of ergolib:

You could probably extract bashlink and make it standalone if you wanted to:

Here’s an example running in the IDE:

Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.11-r16812M  (DarwinX8664)!
? (devel-init)
#P"/Users/ron/devel/lisp-code/rg-init.lisp"
? (require :bashlink)
...

? (bash "cd ~/devel/ccl/github")
NIL
NIL
? (bash "git pull”)
("Already up-to-date.")
