I run the following codes separately as my prompt unsuccessfully in .zshrc. This suggests me that apparently I do not have a program called __git_ps1. It is not in MacPorts.
PROMPT="$(__git_ps1 " \[\033[1;32m\] (%s)\[\033[0m\]")\$"$
PROMPT="$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")\$"$
# Get the name of the branch we are on
git_prompt_info() {
branch_prompt=$(__git_ps1)
if [ -n "$branch_prompt" ]; then
status_icon=$(git_status)
echo $branch_prompt $status_icon
fi
}
# Show character if changes are pending
git_status() {
if current_git_status=$(git status | grep 'added to commit' 2> /dev/null); then
echo "☠"
fi
}
autoload -U colors
colors
setopt prompt_subst
PROMPT='
%~%{$fg_bold[black]%}$(git_prompt_info)
→ %{$reset_color%}'
How can you get a prompt which shows the name of a Git-branch?
__git_ps1
is from git-completion.bash. In zsh you probably have to provide your own function to determine the current directories git branch. There are quite a few blog posts about a git prompt for zsh.
You just need:
For example
git_prompt() {
ref=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD | cut -d'/' -f3)
echo $ref
}
setopt prompt_subst
PS1=$(git_prompt)%#
autoload -U promptinit
promptinit
Update: use the zsh vcs_info module instead of git_prompt()
setopt prompt_subst
autoload -Uz vcs_info
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' actionformats \
'%F{5}(%f%s%F{5})%F{3}-%F{5}[%F{2}%b%F{3}|%F{1}%a%F{5}]%f '
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' formats \
'%F{5}(%f%s%F{5})%F{3}-%F{5}[%F{2}%b%F{5}]%f '

vcs_info_wrapper() {
vcs_info
if [ -n "$vcs_info_msg_0_" ]; then
echo "%{$fg[grey]%}${vcs_info_msg_0_}%{$reset_color%}$del"
fi
}
RPROMPT=$'$(vcs_info_wrapper)'
