A simple command line prompt enhancer that shows the state of the current git repo (ps1).

If the health of your git repository is ok, git-ps1 will just show you the current branch. If the health is bad, git-ps1 will also show 👎 next to the branch.

If you'd like more details on what the issues are I recommend installing and running git-att in the root of your git repo.

npm install -g git-ps1 

After you've installed git-ps1 as a global module using the command above, all you need to do is modify your prompt and have it run git-ps1 [format].

format is optional but will be used as the 1st argument to printf. This allows you to modify the default output by padding it to your likings:

git-ps1 # will output "master" git-ps1 " [%s]" # will output " [master]" 

Add the following to your ~/.bash_profile file:

PS1='\w$(git-ps1 " (%s)")\$ ' 

The above command will modify your prompt to show the current working directory (\w) followed by the ouput of git-ps1 and terminated by $ .

Add the following to your ~/.zshrc file:

setopt PROMPT_SUBST ; PS1='~%C$(git-ps1 " (%s)")%# ' 

The above commands will modify your prompt to show a tilde (~) followed by the current directory name (%C) followed by the ouput of git-ps1 and terminated by % .
