README.md

git-prompt plugin

A zsh prompt that displays information about the current git repository. In particular:
the branch name, difference with remote branch, number of files staged or changed, etc.

To use it, add git-prompt to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... git-prompt)

You may also need to customize your theme
to change the way the prompt is built. See the
OMZ wiki on customizing themes.

See the original repository.

Requirements

This plugin uses python3, so your host needs to have it installed.

Examples

The prompt may look like the following:

(master↑3|✚1): on branch master, ahead of remote by 3 commits, 1 file changed but not staged
(status|●2): on branch status, 2 files staged
(master|✚7…): on branch master, 7 files changed, some files untracked
(master|✖2✚3): on branch master, 2 conflicts, 3 files changed
(experimental↓2↑3|✔): on branch experimental; your branch has diverged by 3 commits, remote by 2 commits; the repository is otherwise clean
(:70c2952|✔): not on any branch; parent commit has hash 70c2952; the repository is otherwise clean
(master|⚑2): on branch master, there are 2 stashed changes

Prompt Structure

By default, the general appearance of the prompt is:

(<branch><branch tracking>|<local status>)

The symbols are as follows:

Local Status Symbols

Symbol	Meaning
✔	repository clean
●n	there are `n` staged files
✖n	there are `n` unmerged files
✚n	there are `n` unstaged files
-n	there are `n` deleted files
⚑n	there are `n` stashed changes
…	there are some untracked files

Branch Tracking Symbols

Symbol	Meaning
↑n	ahead of remote by `n` commits
↓n	behind remote by `n` commits
↓m↑n	branches diverged: other by `m` commits, yours by `n` commits

Customisation

Set the variable ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CACHE to any value in order to enable caching.
Set the variable ZSH_THEME_GIT_SHOW_UPSTREAM to any value to display the upstream branch.
You may also change a number of variables (whose name start with ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_)
to change the appearance of the prompt. Take a look at the bottom of the plugin file`
to see what variables are available.

Enjoy!
