Hello Oliver,

nice extention, thank you for that! ;-) But I have a little trouble here ...

I configured my iTerm to inherit the current $PDW to a newly opened window (e.g. with Cmd-N).
But if I'm in a git repo and press Cmd-N I have no git info in my new window. That's because the
only zsh-hook that's getting triggert is precmd an precmd is not doing anything because
__EXECUTED_GIT_COMMAND is not set.

To quick fix this, I manually put __EXECUTED_GIT_COMMAND=1 at the end of my .zshrc but maybe
you have a better solution for this typically start-up condition issue ...

For some reason, installation did not work for me. I:

• downloaded the repo
• moved it out of downloads to Desktop
• two-finger-clicked "get info" and then copied the "Where" (path) of zshrc.sh
• $ atom ~/.zshrc

Saw this:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting

Changed to:
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin" # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
source /Users/amandasimon/Desktop/zsh-git-prompt-master
PROMPT='%B%m%~%b$(git_super_status) %# '

Restarted my terminal and cd'd into a git directory but saw no changes.

What am I doing wrong?

If I make changes or cd into a git repository, zsh does not register the difference (e.g. the changed files, or the fact that we're now in a git repo) until you launch zsh again.

For example, starting in a regular directory (/), then cding into a git repo ($HOME):

USER at HOST in  /
$ cd ~
USER at HOST in  ~
$ zsh
USER at HOST in  ~  (master↑2|✚2)
$

The same thing happens when you are already in a git repo, and changes are made:

USER at HOST in  ~/test  (master|✔)
$ touch test
USER at HOST in  ~/test  (master|✔)
$ zsh
USER at HOST in  ~/test  (master|…)
$ git add test
USER at HOST in  ~/test  (master|…)
$ zsh
USER at HOST in  ~/test  (master|●1)
$

I'm unsure if it's related, but the stock zsh ${git_branch} doesn't register changes for me. It only shows the branch. On some machines it works (all have the same exact config files), on others it doesn't.

Let me know if you need any config files, or environment variables, etc.

My .zshrc at the time of testing (prompt starts at line 33): https://github.com/zhimsel/dotfiles/blob/af3687d409e5bac1eb1c735076eaa79c2b7f0806/.zshrc

The following advertised example doesn't work:

(:70c2952): not on any branch; parent commit has sha1 70c2952

Observe:

(master|✔)~/.zsh-git-prompt> git checkout HEAD\^
Note: checking out 'HEAD^'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

  git checkout -b new_branch_name

HEAD is now at d8cc0aa... more readable presentation of the output
~/.zsh-git-prompt> 

I'm using this repo at c6032a6 with zsh 4.3.12 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) and Python 2.7.2. Thanks.

Hello, the special characters +,x,o, OK, etc, that you used, are not supported by my linux version. I don't know how to support them. So I modified the variable ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_* with some classical ascii variable.
I think it would be better to have a generic setting to use such more standards character

If zshrc.sh:4 changes to the following:

export __GIT_PROMPT_DIR="`dirname $0`"

Then the installation could be simplified to:
$ git clone https://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt.git
$ edit ~/.zshrc to include:

source path/to/zsh-git-prompt/zshrc.sh
PROMPT='%B%m%~%b$(git_super_status) %# '

This eliminates the need to create a new folder, copy/move files around, or edit zshrc.sh to point to the correct location.

On windows the haskell implementation spits out windows newlines ie crlf.

This breaks zsh when it tries to compare against what it expects to be ints.

The haskell impl could use putStr and manually output a linefeed, another seperator character could be used or zshrc.sh could manually strip whitespace (this is the hack I'm currently running).

I always get this type of error :

zsh: command not found: git_super_status 

Can somebody point a quick solution for this?
By the way it is really nice zsh theme because I really want this current branch view :)
Kudos to author!

Best regards,
Hrvoje

cd zsh-git-prompt # and things looks fine.
cd .git # and you'll get a bunch of errors.

for some reason it shows up the hash in the prompt when the local tracking branch name is long, and this only happens in the Haskell implementation.

The branch name shows up fine with Python impl.

I noticed that when the terminal is two rows high (long story), %G introduces a question mark into the prompt string. I don't understand enough about %G (something about unicode? Docs are confusing) to know if it's zsh's fault or not, but it may be something to be aware of.

I'm running OS X, El Capitan, zsh 5.2, and it triggers under tmux 2.2 with Terminal.app (Terminal.app seems to forbid anything smaller than 5 rows) and I also checked it in iTerm2.

I also did a quick check on one of my VMs, and it also triggers in Linux Mint, zsh 5.0.2, MATE Terminal

Here's some screenshots:

Removing the %G for the + removed the ? it had:

Here's my config in case it's somehow my fault. It's a bit modified, but I don't think I broke it. https://gist.github.com/vilhelmen/d0d7abae17b46997b5c96de1b9349cd1

I'm seeing a problem where zsh-git-prompt causes my prompt to be displayed with extra whitespace characters at the end, when logged in to an Ubuntu Linux box from a Mac terminal. See screenshot below. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Hi!

I have tried installing the git-prompt, but get some strange errors!

When I add source (..../zshrc.sh) I get a strange warninger for every blank line in my config file?!

Also a few errors that stands out, *colors* function definition not found, no such option: *PROMPT_SUBST* ^M and command not found: *add-zsh-hook*

Just installed zsh-git-prompt and the branch name is appearing proceeded by the letter b, and in quotes, e.g. b'master'.

Not a big issue, I'm just wondering if you could suggest why this is happening as as far as I can tell it shouldn't be, and looks a little ugly to me.

I installed stack on my Mac with Homebrew for this project. I ran stack setup and that worked, but when I ran stack build I got

So I ran stack init and got

But now there are untracked files in the repository. git status yields

On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    .stack-work/
    stack.yaml

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

So the Haskell installation still has some kinks.

1. Looks like stack.yaml should be added to the repo or stack init should be added to the README.
2. .stack-work should be added to the .gitignore.
3. If stack.yaml isn't added to the repo, it should be added to the .gitignore.

Thanks for all your hard work, Olivier!

Hello,

in zshrc.sh, variable GIT_UNTRACKED is only compared to zero, but never printed.

Thanks & regards,
mkq

For whatever reason, when I enter some of my repositories, I get the following:

Traceback (Most recent call last):
branch = symbols['prehash']+ Popen(['git','rev-parse','--short','HEAD'], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0][:-1]
TypeError: Can't convert 'bytes' object to str implicitly

I am currently using python 3.3.4. I've noticed that the error only occurs when I enter a submodule.

Any ideas as to what the issue is?

For example, if I edit a file and then type ls, I still get (master|✔) until I do a git status or something. Maybe this is by design? I expected it to always be current, so any cd or ls or whatever would give me an up-to-date prompt.

Thanks!
Justin

What do you think?

https://github.com/sharpsaw/git-dots/blob/master/.zsh/rc/use-git-prompt

I have setted the following alias in my ~/.zshrc:

alias git='noglob git'

This completely stucks the git prompt.

It seems strange as the git calls are made in Python.

Does anyone had had this problem?

My concern is about the speed to display the prompt.

I have a big git repo here, but not huge : ~45,000 files.
When accessing for the first time the repo ('cd' into it), my SSD disk "spins" for nearly ~15sec, and then, display the prompt.

I don't have any problems with smaller repo.

So, is there a way to make the Git prompt's computation not blocking ?

If it's possible, is there a way of updating the prompt status while editing files in a subdirectory of the main repo dir?

Normally I can edit files in a subdir and a + isn't show until I cd to the main git directory.

I did a git submodule add git://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt.git in my ~/.zsh so I got it added at ~.zsh/zsh-git-prompt/, but python argues: python: can't open file '/home/abe/.zsh/git-prompt/gitstatus.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

IMHO either this load path should be dynamical or default to the same name as the git repo.

Me and several of my friends have an issue with the prompting of the remote commits (the downward arrow). It's simply never visible, like if our computer doesn't detect remote commits.
Is there a particular thing to config ?
The other symbols work fine.

I did everything you said to install the prompt, but it doesn't work, and more weirdly doesn't throw any errors. I have python, the files on the corresponding places and everything. What could be?

Hi,
i know that there is already a oh-my-zsh plugin version of zsh-git-prompt, but it does not come with the haskell version and i do not know how much of the updates they have integrated. So i prefer to use this version.
By adding a symbolic link zsh-git-prompt.plugin.zsh -> zshrc.sh people can just clone this into their custom plugin folder and it works as oh-my-zsh plugin without further work.

zsh-git-prompt is being packaged for the Debian distribution through oh-my-zsh. oh-my-zsh itself is licensed under the Expat license (commonly known as MIT).

As per the Debian Policy, all software distributed must be appropriately licensed.

Please see https://help.github.com/articles/open-source-licensing if you need advice about licensing.

Thanks!

When compiling the Haskell version, the binaries are being placed in the dist directory, leaving the repository "dirty".
By adding the dist directory to .gitignore, one could use this repo more easily in a custom dotfiles repository as a submodule.

older gits output:

# On branch master

1.8.5 outputs:

On branch master

so this line in gitstatus.py:

branch = bline.split(' ')[3]

needs to change to:

branch = bline.split(' ')[2]

but note that the 1.8.5 release notes say "Scripts that parse the output of "git status" are advised to use "git status --porcelain" instead, as its format is stable and easier to parse." which sounds like even better advice.

The title pretty much says it. Basically what happens is in order to see changes every time I change directories, I have to do this:

source ~/.zshrc
cd /path/to/git/repo    # git info not shown
source ~/.zshrc         # git info shown
cd /path/to/regular/dir # git info still shown
source ~/.zshrc         # git info not shown

Any solutions to fix this problem? Obviously not everyone has it, since this works for most people. Also, I have in my zshrc.sh file:

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_NOCACHE=1

So I don't think that's the problem.

For example:

After adding a new file there is no change:

² /tmp/gss (master|✔) touch qqq
² /tmp/gss (master|✔)

But after cd . it shows that there is an untracked file

² /tmp/gss (master|✔) cd .
² /tmp/gss (master|…)

Is this possible? It would be nice to be able to brew install zsh-git-prompt --with-haskell or something like that, though I'm not sure how to go about that.

Edit: This is purely for convenience, I'm currently just building myself.

I get the following warning occasionally in my terminal.

update_current_git_vars:10: array parameter __CURRENT_GIT_STATUS created globally in function update_current_git_vars

With this plugin enabled, typing commands after first receiving a prompt (i.e. immediately after the last command finishes) has no visible output for about 2 seconds. Once character start to appear, the response time is as normal for that prompt, but the delay returns as soon as a new prompt appears.

→ zsh --version
zsh 5.0.5 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.0)

Commenting out antigen bundle olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt from my .zshrc resolves the issue completely.

Let me know if I can provide more detail to clarify the problem.

I noticed there's a pull request for adding stash info, but it only covers the Python implementation. It would be nice to have it for Haskell as well.

I am working with a large repository containing tens of thousands of directories. As long as the cwd is located in that directory the prompt will return after a delay of ~10 seconds.
With other git repositories this does not happen.

I tried running the same git command the plugin seems to be running:

time git status --porcelain --branch

and i see that the reported elpased time is ~10 seconds, which convinced me that the root cause of the slowness is git and not the plugin.

Next, i tried running the original command with '-uno' which will not report untracked files:

time git status --porcelain --branch -uno

And the elapsed time for that experiment was less than one second.

As a user i would like to have an option to ignore untracked information to allow better performance.

I sometimes need to use my computer with a TTY and with unicode it messes up the prompt. This way you can detect if it's a TTY and still have a usable prompt.

edit: here is a list of unicode symbols and ascii characters that could be used:

Hi @olivierverdier just wondering are you still maintaining this ?

I do not have any particular issues at this stage but I can see it hasn't been updated in a while and outstanding issues.

cheers.

I tried to switch python version inside gitstatus.py, on arch and ubuntu 11.04. Both have python 2 and 3 installed.
Setting #!/usr/bin/env python3 or #!/usr/bin/python3.2 on ubuntu is ignored as well as setting #!/usr/bin/env python2 or #!/usr/bin/python2 in arch. I confirmed this with print(sys.version).
A simple helloword.py did allow me to switch version though.
So whats wrong? The prompt on ubuntu looks lovely, I´d like to have it on arch as well.

Cheers kodiak

Although the function is called (I notice the delay) it does not display anything, even though gitstatus.py works:

10:25 bartek@artemis ~/code/tmLQCD.kost  $ ~/.zsh/git-prompt/gitstatus.py 
cgmms_filename

I've inserted git_super_status after the pwd:

PROMPT="\

%{${fg_bold[blue]}%}@\
%{${fg_bold[green]}%}%m\

%{${at_normal}${fg_lgray}%}$(git_super_status) \
%{${fg_bold[white]}%} $ \
%{${at_normal}${fg_lgray}%}"

Also, seems that __CURRENT_GIT_STATUS is not auto updating as well.

To reporoduce

• I start with a clean git state of master branch.
• Touch a new file blah
• See that the git status prompt did not update
• Re-source my ~/.zshrc file and it picks up the new untracked file

Hi, I customized the plugin because I use Agnoster theme. I don't know how to integrate it to the project because, so I put my gist here.

I just basically override some functions, this is a bit crappy but it works well. My goal here is to share it and obviously, if you want to add it to the project, I would be glad to help you.

Noticed that there hasn't been a release on GitHub for several years. Would be useful if they were more frequent because it would allow zsh-git-prompt to be installed with package managers. Will there be a new release any time soon? Is there a need for one?

The prompt doesn't update when I switch branches in a different terminal window (until I do "git status" again).

Is there an inexpensive way to check if the branch has changed on each execution?

This is a suggestion from fish-shell#2824.

The idea is to display the number of branches on the prompt too.
Something like (master↑1↓2⎇3|●3✖4✚5…6)

What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks.

I love your zsh prompt. It's great. I've tried to modify so that the git status appears on the right side. I did this as follows:

PROMPT=$'%U%n@%m%u:%{${fg[cyan]}%}%B%~%b%{${fg[default]}%} '
RPROMPT=$'$(prompt_git_info)'

This works, but once a cd into a git repo directory, the command line itself turns read (meaning the chars that I type in the command line). Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

Thank you

Hey,

Branch tracking (up and down arrows) are not working, and I don't know why. I tested on different machines (ubuntu and macos) and got the same result.

When I make a new commit I don't see the UP arrow, and when I have a new remote commit I don't see the down arrow.

I'm a new zsh user, so maybe I'm missing some basic zsh config?

Thank you.
