# Informative git prompt for bash and fish
|
|
|
|
This prompt is a port of the "Informative git prompt for zsh" which you can
|
|
find [here](https://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt)
|
|
|
|
A ``bash`` prompt that displays information about the current git repository.
|
|
In particular the branch name, difference with remote branch, number of files
|
|
staged, changed, etc.
|
|
|
|
(an original idea from this [blog post][]).
|
|
|
|
`gitstatus.sh` and `git-prompt-help.sh` added by [AKS](http://github.com/aks).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The prompt may look like the following:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ``(master↑3|✚1)``: on branch ``master``, ahead of remote by 3 commits, 1 file changed but not staged
|
|
* ``(status|●2)``: on branch ``status``, 2 files staged
|
|
* ``(master|✚7…)``: on branch ``master``, 7 files changed, some files untracked
|
|
* ``(master|✖2✚3)``: on branch ``master``, 2 conflicts, 3 files changed
|
|
* ``(master|⚑2)``: on branch ``master``, 2 stash entries
|
|
* ``(experimental↓2↑3|✔)``: on branch ``experimental``; your branch has diverged by 3 commits, remote by 2 commits; the repository is otherwise clean
|
|
* ``(:70c2952|✔)``: not on any branch; parent commit has hash ``70c2952``; the repository is otherwise clean
|
|
|
|
## Prompt Structure
|
|
|
|
By default, the general appearance of the prompt is::
|
|
|
|
(<branch> <branch tracking>|<local status>)
|
|
|
|
The symbols are as follows:
|
|
|
|
- Local Status Symbols
|
|
- ``✔``: repository clean
|
|
- ``●n``: there are ``n`` staged files
|
|
- ``✖n``: there are ``n`` unmerged files
|
|
- ``✚n``: there are ``n`` changed but *unstaged* files
|
|
- ``…n``: there are ``n`` untracked files
|
|
- ``⚑n``: there are ``n`` stash entries
|
|
- Branch Tracking Symbols
|
|
- ``↑n``: ahead of remote by ``n`` commits
|
|
- ``↓n``: behind remote by ``n`` commits
|
|
- ``↓m↑n``: branches diverged, other by ``m`` commits, yours by ``n`` commits
|
|
- Branch Symbol:<br />
|
|
When the branch name starts with a colon ``:``, it means it's actually a hash, not a branch (although it should be pretty clear, unless you name your branches like hashes :-)
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
1. Clone this repository to your home directory.
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/magicmonty/bash-git-prompt.git .bash-git-prompt
|
|
|
|
2. Source the file `gitprompt.sh` from `~/.bashrc`
|
|
|
|
3. `cd` to a git repository and test it!
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# some other config in .bashrc
|
|
|
|
# gitprompt configuration
|
|
|
|
# Set config variables first
|
|
GIT_PROMPT_ONLY_IN_REPO=1
|
|
|
|
# GIT_PROMPT_FETCH_REMOTE_STATUS=0 # uncomment to avoid fetching remote status
|
|
|
|
# GIT_PROMPT_START=... # uncomment for custom prompt start sequence
|
|
# GIT_PROMPT_END=... # uncomment for custom prompt end sequence
|
|
|
|
# as last entry source the gitprompt script
|
|
source ~/.bash-git-prompt/gitprompt.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Go in a git repository and test it!
|
|
|
|
- You can define `GIT_PROMPT_START` and `GIT_PROMPT_END` to tweak your prompt.
|
|
|
|
- The default colors are defined within `prompt-colors.sh`, which is sourced by
|
|
`gitprompt.sh`. The colors used for various git status are defined in
|
|
`git-prompt-colors.sh`. Both of these files may be overridden by copying
|
|
them to $HOME with a `.` prefix. They can also be placed in `$HOME/lib`
|
|
without the leading `.`. The defaults are the original files in the
|
|
`~/.bash-git-prompt` directory.
|
|
|
|
- You can use `GIT_PROMPT_START_USER`, `GIT_PROMPT_START_ROOT`,
|
|
`GIT_PROMPT_END_USER` and `GIT_PROMPT_END_ROOT` in your
|
|
`.git-prompt-colors.sh` to tweak your prompt. You can also override the start
|
|
and end of the prompt by setting `GIT_PROMPT_START` and `GIT_PROMPT_END`
|
|
before you source the `gitprompt.sh`.
|
|
|
|
- The current git repo information is obtained by the script `gitstatus.sh` or
|
|
`gitstatus.py`. Both scripts do the same thing, but the bash script is a tad
|
|
more quick, and is used by default. If you prefer the python script
|
|
(possibly because you have enhanced it), simply delete or change the name of
|
|
`gitstatus.sh`.
|
|
|
|
- You can define `prompt_callback` function to tweak your prompt dynamically.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
function prompt_callback {
|
|
if [ `jobs | wc -l` -ne 0 ]; then
|
|
echo -n " jobs:\j"
|
|
fi
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- If you want to show the git prompt only if you are in a git repository you
|
|
can set ``GIT_PROMPT_ONLY_IN_REPO=1`` before sourcing the gitprompt script
|
|
|
|
- You can show an additional indicator at the start of the prompt, which shows
|
|
the result of the last executed command by setting
|
|
``GIT_PROMPT_SHOW_LAST_COMMAND_INDICATOR=1`` before sourcing the gitprompt
|
|
script
|
|
|
|
- It is now possible to disable the fetching of the remote repository either
|
|
globally by setting ``GIT_PROMPT_FETCH_REMOTE_STATUS=0`` in your .bashrc or
|
|
on a per repository basis by creating a file named ``.bash-git-rc`` with the
|
|
content ``FETCH_REMOTE_STATUS=0`` in the root of your git repository.
|
|
|
|
- You can get help on the git prompt with the function ``git_prompt_help``.
|
|
Examples are available with ``git_prompt_examples``.
|
|
|
|
**Enjoy!**

## Alternative RPM Install
|
|
|
|
This project ships an RPM spec to simplify installation on RHEL and
|
|
clones. If you wish to install from RPM, you may first build the RPM
|
|
from scratch by following this procedure:
|
|
* Clone this repository and tag the release with a version number
|
|
|
|
````sh
|
|
git tag -a -m "Tag release 1.1" 1.1
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
* Run the following command to create a tarball:
|
|
|
|
````sh
|
|
VER1=$(git describe)
|
|
# replace dash with underscore to work around
|
|
# rpmbuild does not allow dash in version string
|
|
VER=${VER1//\-/_}
|
|
git archive \
|
|
--format tar \
|
|
--prefix=bash-git-prompt-${VER}/ \
|
|
HEAD \
|
|
-- *.sh \
|
|
*.py \
|
|
*.fish \
|
|
README.md \
|
|
> bash-git-prompt-${VER}.tar
|
|
mkdir -p /tmp/bash-git-prompt-${VER}
|
|
sed "s/Version:.*/Version: ${VER}/" \
|
|
bash-git-prompt.spec \
|
|
> /tmp/bash-git-prompt-${VER}/bash-git-prompt.spec
|
|
OLDDIR=$(pwd)
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
tar -uf ${OLDDIR}/bash-git-prompt-${VER}.tar \
|
|
bash-git-prompt-${VER}/bash-git-prompt.spec
|
|
cd ${OLDDIR}
|
|
gzip bash-git-prompt-${VER}.tar
|
|
mv bash-git-prompt-${VER}.tar.gz bash-git-prompt-${VER}.tgz
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
* Log into an RHEL or clones host and run:
|
|
|
|
````sh
|
|
rpmbuild -ta bash-git-prompt-xxx.tar.gz
|
|
````
|
|
Then you may publish or install the rpm from "~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch".
