#
# This script allows you to see repository status in your prompt.
#
# To enable:
#
#    1) Copy this file to somewhere (e.g. ~/.git-prompt.sh).
#    2) Add the following line to your .bashrc/.zshrc:
#        source ~/.git-prompt.sh
#    3a) Change your PS1 to call __git_ps1 as
#        command-substitution:
#        Bash: PS1='[\u@\h \W$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
#        ZSH:  setopt PROMPT_SUBST ; PS1='[%n@%m %c$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
#        the optional argument will be used as format string.
#    3b) Alternatively, for a slightly faster prompt, __git_ps1 can
#        be used for PROMPT_COMMAND in Bash or for precmd() in Zsh
#        with two parameters, <pre> and <post>, which are strings
#        you would put in $PS1 before and after the status string
#        generated by the git-prompt machinery.  e.g.
#        Bash: PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\u@\h:\w" "\\\$ "'
#          will show username, at-sign, host, colon, cwd, then
#          various status string, followed by dollar and SP, as
#          your prompt.
#        ZSH:  precmd () { __git_ps1 "%n" ":%~$ " "|%s" }
#          will show username, pipe, then various status string,
#          followed by colon, cwd, dollar and SP, as your prompt.
#        Optionally, you can supply a third argument with a printf
#        format string to finetune the output of the branch status
#
# The repository status will be displayed only if you are currently in a
# git repository. The %s token is the placeholder for the shown status.
#
# The prompt status always includes the current branch name.
#
# In addition, if you set GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE to a nonempty value,
# unstaged (*) and staged (+) changes will be shown next to the branch
# name.  You can configure this per-repository with the
# bash.showDirtyState variable, which defaults to true once
# GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE is enabled.
#
# You can also see if currently something is stashed, by setting
# GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE to a nonempty value. If something is stashed,
# then a '$' will be shown next to the branch name.
#
# If you would like to see if there're untracked files, then you can set
# GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES to a nonempty value. If there're untracked
# files, then a '%' will be shown next to the branch name.  You can
# configure this per-repository with the bash.showUntrackedFiles
# variable, which defaults to true once GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES is
# enabled.
#
# If you would like to see the difference between HEAD and its upstream,
# set GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="auto".  A "<" indicates you are behind, ">"
# indicates you are ahead, "<>" indicates you have diverged and "="
# indicates that there is no difference. You can further control
# behaviour by setting GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM to a space-separated list
# of values:
#
#     verbose       show number of commits ahead/behind (+/-) upstream
#     name          if verbose, then also show the upstream abbrev name
#     legacy        don't use the '--count' option available in recent
#                   versions of git-rev-list
#     git           always compare HEAD to @{upstream}
#     svn           always compare HEAD to your SVN upstream
#
# You can change the separator between the branch name and the above
# state symbols by setting GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR. The default separator
# is SP.
#
# By default, __git_ps1 will compare HEAD to your SVN upstream if it can
# find one, or @{upstream} otherwise.  Once you have set
# GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM, you can override it on a per-repository basis by
# setting the bash.showUpstream config variable.
#
# If you would like to see more information about the identity of
# commits checked out as a detached HEAD, set GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE_STYLE
# to one of these values:
#
#     contains      relative to newer annotated tag (v1.6.3.2~35)
#     branch        relative to newer tag or branch (master~4)
#     describe      relative to older annotated tag (v1.6.3.1-13-gdd42c2f)
#     default       exactly matching tag
#
# If you would like a colored hint about the current dirty state, set
# GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS to a nonempty value. The colors are based on
# the colored output of "git status -sb" and are available only when
# using __git_ps1 for PROMPT_COMMAND or precmd.
#
# If you would like __git_ps1 to do nothing in the case when the current
# directory is set up to be ignored by git, then set
# GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED to a nonempty value. Override this on the
# repository level by setting bash.hideIfPwdIgnored to "false".

Awesome! Needed this today (three years later :) and not only did I find it, but someone I know wrote it. Ha! :) Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you !

Hi, can someone post an example of their ksh prompt? Thanks!

Sure!

If you wanted an example of the PS1 here is mine.

Amazing! Also appreciate the PS1 example and the quick response.

Thank you

What did you change exactly? I just did a conversion (and keeping bash/zsh compat).. I'm not sure every feature work yet but basically is was just a matter of replacing local with typeset and funcname () with function funcname. I see neither don't see it in your script (maybe newer ksh version?)

Oh and for some reason I has to use $'' quoting style for the color escapes (used octal but I haven't even tried \e) - If I left the bash-style [ it printed them, but maybe that was the way I tested...)

I will share it shortly...

@dermoth this is specifically targeting OpenBSD's ksh (there is a fork for linux and friends here.

It's been a while.. but the changes were mostly removing bashisms in favor of posix things.. and using ksh features where there was no posix equiv.

Thanks. BTW I stroke out using function - it was suggested by a peer (a ksh guru), and it might work for the entry function to isolate it from the shell but other functions must use the () syntax to access variables in outer scope. More testing might be needed; I don't use it personally but I have many peers using it and i'm looking at making it available to them as well.

I'll look more deeply at your changes, however I'm aiming at ksh93 compatibility - if I can make bsd ksh happy that's even better. OTOH I wish to retain bash (my preference) and zsh (also user by peers) compatibility. I'm not very concerned about strict POSIX compliance as it would likely require dropping some speedups (or maybe spiting in multiple includes, but then multiple versions have to be maintained...)

P.S.: Pm me if you'l like followups of this, ex when I submit it to the git project. My email is in my GH commits...
