Here is my ZSH config to achieve two aims :
- Clearly separates the results of commands :
- Integrate GIT status in the prompt when working in a GIT repository :
To do that, I have added to my .zshrc the following lines :
1 autoload -Uz vcs_info
2 #zstyle ':vcs_info:*' stagedstr 'Staged'
3 #zstyle ':vcs_info:*' unstagedstr 'Unstaged'
4 zstyle ':vcs_info:git*' formats "%{$fg_bold[blue]%}[%s] %{$fg_bold[green]%}(%b)%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[red]%}%u %{$fg[yellow]%}%c"
5 zstyle ':vcs_info:*' check-for-changes true
6 zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git
7 precmd() {
8 vcs_info
9
10 local STATUS="`git status 2>&1`"
11 if [[ "$STATUS" == *'Not a git repository'* ]] then
12 GITINFO=""
13 else
14 GITINFO="------ ${vcs_info_msg_0_}"$'\n'
15 fi
16 }
17 setopt prompt_subst
18
19 export PS1=$'\n'"%{$fg[green]%}"-----------------------------------------------------------------------$'\n''${GITINFO}'"%{$fg[green]%}""------ [%~] %*"$'\n'-----------------------------------------------------------------------"%{$reset_color%}"$'\n\n\n'"%{$fg_bold[green]%}%n@%m:%#%{$reset_color%} "
More information about vcs_info can be found at http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/User-Contributions.html#Version-Control-Information
1 autoload -Uz vcs_info loads the vcs_info module.
2
3 zstyle ':vcs_info:git*' formats "%{$fg_bold[blue]%}[%s] %{$fg_bold[green]%}(%b)%{$reset_color%} %{$fg[red]%}%u %{$fg[yellow]%}%c" defines the output format :
- %s : the VCS used (= git)
- %b : the current branch
- %u : unstaged status (= there are unstaged files in the repository)
- %c : staged status (= there are staged files in the repository)
If you want to change the default U and S for unstaged and staged, you can use :
1 zstyle ':vcs_info:*' stagedstr 'Staged'
2 zstyle ':vcs_info:*' unstagedstr 'Unstaged'
- zstyle ':vcs_info:*' check-for-changes true to monitor changes.
- zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git to enable it for GIT VCS.
I want to show the GIT status only inside a GIT repository, not in a ordinary directory. This is done in the precmd() by testing the STATUS variable which contains the GIT STATUS output :
1 precmd() {
2 vcs_info
3 local STATUS="`git status 2>&1`"
4 if [[ "$STATUS" == *'Not a git repository'* ]] then
5 GITINFO=""
6 else
7 GITINFO="------ ${vcs_info_msg_0_}"$'n'
8 fi
9 }
The prompt itself is build inside PS1 :
1 export PS1=$'n'"%{$fg[green]%}"-----------------------------------------------------------------------$'n''${GITINFO}'"%{$fg[green]%}""------ [%~] %*"$'n'-----------------------------------------------------------------------"%{$reset_color%}"$'nnn'"%{$fg_bold[green]%}%n@%m:%#%{$reset_color%} "
Note : you have to make a first commit before the staged and unstaged status become active.
