David Adam 3a23fdf359 docs: omnibus cleanup
Includes harmonizing the display of options and arguments, standardising
terminology, using the envvar directive more broadly, adding help options to all
commands that support them, simplifying some language, and tidying up multiple
formatting issues.

.. _cmd-fish_vcs_prompt:
fish_vcs_prompt - output version control system information for use in a prompt
===============================================================================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
fish_vcs_prompt
::
function fish_prompt
printf '%s' $PWD (fish_vcs_prompt) ' $ '
end
Description
-----------
The ``fish_vcs_prompt`` function displays information about the current version control system (VCS) repository, if any.
It calls out to VCS-specific functions. The currently supported systems are:
- :ref:`fish_git_prompt <cmd-fish_git_prompt>`
- :ref:`fish_hg_prompt <cmd-fish_hg_prompt>`
- :ref:`fish_svn_prompt <cmd-fish_svn_prompt>`
If a VCS isn't installed, the respective function does nothing.
The Subversion prompt is disabled by default, because it's slow on large repositories. To enable it, modify ``fish_vcs_prompt`` to uncomment it. See :ref:`funced <cmd-funced>`.
For more information, see the documentation for each of the functions above.
Example
-------
A simple prompt that displays all known VCS info::
function fish_prompt
...
set -g __fish_git_prompt_showupstream auto
printf '%s %s$' $PWD (fish_vcs_prompt)
end
