Add upstream state to PS1 #30

Closed lmars closed 11 years ago

lmars commented 11 years ago

I'm not sure if this is desired but I like to have the upstream state in my prompt (as supported by git-prompt), e.g.:

master u=    # same as upstream
master u+3   # ahead of upstream by 3 commits
master u-3   # behind upstream by 3 commits
master u+1-2 # diverged from upstream - I have one commit and they have 2 commits

There is also a less verbose version but I didn't add that as I don't use it.

I like this a lot personally but I wonder if we're getting to the point where we could use a system that allows for some easy customization here. Like we could include the function and document that it's available.

Merging for now. I may revert it as part of the default prompt after some use. I'll leave the function, though.

Thanks for the patch!

Yes I agree on the customisation, I think documenting the functions and providing some examples would be good. I actually use the functions directly myself so didn't really need to update the default prompt, so feel free to revert.
