Git branch

[mtift]

When I vagrant ssh into my machine that uses the supplied oh-my-xsh theme (ZSH_THEME="superjarin", or any other theme for that matter) I don't see a git branch on the prompt. For example, I just see this:

[] /vagrant/www/docroot 

If I add something like this to my ~/.zshrc:

autoload -Uz vcs_info
precmd () { vcs_info }
setopt prompt_subst
PS1="\$vcs_info_msg_0_$PS1"

Then I see this in my prompt:

 (git)-[master]-[] /vagrant/www/docroot

Should I see git branches using the project with the default setup?

Interesting. I wonder if it's a bug because dirty file tracking is disabled. Also, the theme should be the default of robbyrussell. I wonder how yours got there?

[deviantintegral]

So you have to add the git-prompt plugin to get it to be added by default. However, that slows down any prompt displays for a mounted /var/www/docroot pretty significantly, so I removed it (a long) time ago. Do you think displaying the branch by itself is worth it? For me, I'm almost always working from outside the VM for git operations.

/me too.

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds like the answer to my question is "no."

I haven't done any git operations in the VM, either. I have just noticed that I've been typing git branch when I'm in the VM, troubleshooting problems, including making sure I'm on the right branch.

Oh, and yes, I meant "robbyrussell."
