# gitstatus.zsh
`gitstatus.zsh` is a plugin made for prompts - it tells you how many things have
changed since the last git commit in a repository.
## 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
Clone this repository locally, on your machine, for example:
```
git clone "https://github.com/xylous/gitstatus.zsh.git" gitstatus
```
## Usage
Add the following lines to your zshrc:
```zsh
function precmd()
{
local gitstatus="$(path/to/installation/gitstatus.plugin.zsh)"
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 prompt.
And of course, remember to replace `path/to/installation` with the actual path
to the program.
## Roadmap
- [ ] add screenshots
- [ ] cover more `git status` flags
