# gitstatus
|
|
|
|
`gitstatus` is a plugin made for prompts - it tells you how many things have
|
|
changed since the last git commit in a repository.
|
|
|
|
Example with `PS1='%F{blue}%~%F{default} $(gitstatus) %F{green}$%F{default} '`:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Why such a thing?
|
|
|
|
Frankly, it's because I needed something small and fast that would integrate
|
|
well with my (multi-line) prompt.
|
|
|
|
Is it useful? For me and probably a handful other people, yes.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
- zsh
|
|
- git
|
|
- awk
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
#### Manual
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository locally, on your machine, for example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone "https://github.com/xylous/gitstatus.git" gitstatus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
source path/to/installation/gitstatus.plugin.zsh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### With a plugin manager
|
|
|
|
You could also use a plugin manager, such as zpm:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zpm load xylous/gitstatus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Add the following lines to your zshrc:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
function precmd()
|
|
{
|
|
local gitstatus="$(gitstatus)"
|
|
PS1="%F{blue}%~%F{default} ${gitstatus} $ "
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`precmd()` is a zsh builtin function that executes a series of commands right
|
|
before the prompt is drawn. In this example, it updates the output of the
|
|
`gitstatus` script and then uses it in a sample prompt.
|
|
|
|
And of course, remember to replace `path/to/installation` with the actual path
|
|
to the program.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- [x] add screenshots
|
|
- [ ] cover more `git status` flags
