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)

See the original repository.

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

Prompt Structure

By default, the general appearance of the prompt is:

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

The symbols are as follows:

Local Status Symbols

✔	repository clean
●n	there are n staged files
✖n	there are n unmerged files
✚n	there are n unstaged files
…	there are some untracked files

Branch Tracking Symbols

↓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.
• 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!
