# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And of course, remember to replace `/path/to/installation` with the actual path
|
|
to the program.
|
|
|
|
#### With a plugin manager
|
|
|
|
You could also use a plugin manager, such as zpm:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
zpm load xylous/gitstatus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Change your prompt to include `$(gitstatus)` wherever you need. Note that you'll
|
|
need to `setopt PROMPT_SUBST` and that you're going to need to use single
|
|
quotes.
|
|
|
|
So, for example:
|
|
|
|
```zsh
|
|
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
|
|
PROMPT='%F{blue}%~%F{default} $(gitstatus -i)$ '
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Options
|
|
|
|
- `-i`: use if your prompt is inline. It appends a whitespace character if the
|
|
output is non-empty; the formatting will always be proper, even if outside a git
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
- [x] add screenshots
|
|
- [x] have better support for inline prompts
|
|
- [ ] cover more `git status` flags
