Vebose Git Dirty Prompt
I’ve updated my bashrc with a verbose dirty git prompt which is an extension of Henrik Nyh’s Show Git dirty state post. I wanted my prompt to also indicate additional git states with a single character. For instance I want to know when the local branch is ahead of the remote branch and I do that with the plus ‘+’ character. So if there are modified files in the project, and the local project is ahead of the remote I’ll see ‘☭’ for dirty and ‘+’ for ahead in my bash prompt such as the following
mike@daisy 10006 ~/projects/apps/example(master☭?)$
These are the character codes I used for the git dirty state in the project.
- ‘☭’ – files have been modified
- ‘?’ – there are untracted files in the project
- ‘*’ – a new file has been add to the project but not committed
- ‘+’ – the local project is ahead of the remote
- ‘>’ – file has been moved or renamed
Here is an example in an example git repository
The code for my git dirty prompt is in this Gist http://gist.github.com/217120 and listed below.
