Git Prompt in Bash

All in one picture

Source code

# ~/.bashrc __git_status() { STATUS=$(git status 2>/dev/null | awk ' /^On branch / {printf($3)} /^You are currently rebasing/ {printf("rebasing %s", $6)} /^Initial commit/ {printf(" (init)")} /^Untracked files/ {printf("|+")} /^Changes not staged / {printf("|?")} /^Changes to be committed/ {printf("|*")} /^Your branch is ahead of/ {printf("|^")} ') if [ -n "$STATUS" ]; then echo -ne " [$STATUS]" fi } PS1='\[\033[07;33;01m\]\n\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]$(__git_status)\$ '

That's all folks!

Thank you for this, I have just updated my bashrc from this:

git_branch () { # Get current Git branch git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/' } git_last_update () { # Get last update on current Git branch git log 2> /dev/null | head -n 3 | grep ^Date | cut -f4- -d' '; } export PS1="\[\033[0;32m\]\[\033[0m\033[0;38m\]\u\[\033[0;36m\]@\[\033[0;36m\]\h:\w\[\033[0;32m\] \$(git_branch) \$(git_last_update)\n\[\033[0;32m\]└─\[\033[0m\033[0;31m\] [\D{%F %T}] \$\[\033[0m\033[0;32m\] >>>\[\033[0m\] "

to this:

_ip_add=$(ip addr | grep -w inet | gawk '{if (NR==2) {$0=$2; gsub(/\//," "); print $1;}}') __git_status() { STATUS=$(git status 2>/dev/null | awk ' /^On branch / {printf($3)} /^Changes not staged / {printf("|?Changes unstaged!")} /^Changes to be committed/ {printf("|*Uncommitted changes!")} /^Your branch is ahead of/ {printf("|^Push changes!")} ') if [ -n "$STATUS" ]; then echo -ne " ($STATUS) [$(git log 2> /dev/null | head -n 3 | grep ^Date | cut -f4- -d' ')]" fi } __ps1_startline="\[\033[0;32m\]\[\033[0m\033[0;38m\]\u\[\033[0;36m\]@\[\033[0;36m\]\h on ${_ip_add}:\w\[\033[0;32m\]" __ps1_endline="\[\033[0;32m\]└─\[\033[0m\033[0;31m\] [\D{%F %T}] \$\[\033[0m\033[0;32m\] >>>\[\033[0m\] " export PS1="${__ps1_startline} \$(__git_status)\n ${__ps1_endline}"

This is what I came up with. Thanks for this post Vlastimil.
