Adding current Github repo status

[gatlinnewhouse]

Tried adding something like this:

function fish_prompt
    set -l git_branch (git branch ^/dev/null | sed -n '/\* /s///p')
    echo -n (whoami)'@'(hostname)':'(prompt_pwd)'{'"$git_branch"'} $ '
end

[guidovansteen]

Could you elaborate on this? Don't you confuse this project (which is called fiZsh) with another project (called fish)?

[gatlinnewhouse]

No. I just tried to use the same method I would use in fish with fizsh. I just want the current GitHub repo status to appear in the $PS1 when I cd into a repo directory.

[guidovansteen]

In that case you could modify the file called 'fizsh-prompt.zsh'. I would turn the current Github repo status into a string, and mould it in some way into the environment variable $_fizsh_prompt.

[guidovansteen]

I just tried to use the same method I would use in fish with fizsh

fish and fizsh are different. Fizsh is zsh, fish is a different shell.

[gatlinnewhouse]

Okay, I got the current github repo status working. But I cannot get my PS1 to show colors in zsh at all.

here is my .zshrc:

# This fizshrc script intends to make zsh behave similar to fish when it comes to fish's
# syntax highlighting and fish's matlab-like history search. This script also emulates
# fish's prompt.
#
# When fizsh is run for the first time this script is copied to "$HOME/.fizsh/.zshrc".
# "$HOME/.fizsh/" is fizsh's "$ZDOTDIR" directory. This file is therefore sourced automatically
# when fizsh is run.
#
# The script was tested on Linux. It may need some modifications to work on
# other systems.

The PS1 shows up fine in terminal besides the colors not showing up.

I tried adding autoload -U colors && colors to files like fizsh, .fizshrc, and fizsh-prompt.zsh (although I think I deprecated fizsh-prompt.zsh).

[guidovansteen]

Why do you modify .zshrc? Changes in the prompt are meant to be handled by fizsh-prompt.zsh. Moreover, it is hard to help if I can't see your git-prompt.zsh file.

P.S. In the past I noticed some unexpected behaviour when I sourced fizsh-prompt.zsh from .zshrc. I never bothered to look into this issue more closely, because it was solved by assigning PS1 directly. (see .zshrc).

[gatlinnewhouse]

Here is the git-prompt.zsh:

function in_git_repos() {
    test "`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null`" = "true"
}

function git_current_branch() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        ref=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD 2> /dev/null) || \
        ref=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD 2> /dev/null) || return
        echo ${ref#refs/heads/}
    fi
}

function git_status_is_clean() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        local lines=$(git status --porcelain | egrep -v '^\?\? ' | wc -l)
        test $lines = 0
    fi
}

function git_unknown_files() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        local lines=$(git status --porcelain | egrep '^\?\? ' | wc -l)
        test $lines = 0
    fi
}

function git_stash_is_clean() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        local lines=$(git stash list | wc -l)
        test $lines = 0
    fi
}

function git_no_branches() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        local lines=$(git branch | wc -l)
        test $lines = 1
    fi
}

function git_single_remote() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        local lines=$(git remote | wc -l)
        test $lines -le 1
    fi
}

function git_no_remote() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        local lines=$(git remote | wc -l)
        test $lines = 0
    fi
}

function git_branch_is_pushed() {
    if in_git_repos; then
        if git branch -r | grep "origin/master" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            git_no_remote || git diff-tree --quiet origin/master heads/master
        fi
    fi
}

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

function git_prompt_precmd() {
    local GITINFO=""
    if [ ! -z `git_current_branch` ]; then
        GITINFO=" [`git_current_branch`"
        if ! git_status_is_clean; then
            GITINFO="$GITINFO*"
        fi
        if ! git_unknown_files; then
            GITINFO="${GITINFO}?"
        fi
        if ! git_branch_is_pushed; then
            GITINFO="$GITINFO➚"
        fi
        if ! git_stash_is_clean; then
            GITINFO="$GITINFO☰"
        fi
        if ! git_no_branches; then
            GITINFO="$GITINFO⌥"
        fi
        if ! git_single_remote; then
            GITINFO="$GITINFO®"
        fi
        GITINFO="$GITINFO]"
    fi
    echo $GITINFO
}

Again the git repo status (via this script) is working totally fine.

That's why I modified .zshrc, to assign a PS1 directly. Unless you mean assigning a PS1 in .fizsh

[guidovansteen]

In the original file .zshrc PS1 is assigned directly by PS1='$("$_fizsh_F_DOT_DIR"/fizsh-prompt.zsh)'. As mentioned in the original .zshrc, in the past I observed problems when I sourced fizsh-prompt.zsh. The same happened when I used the precmd function in order to echo the prompt. So you may try to avoid sourcing git-prompt.zsh and using the precmd function.

[gatlinnewhouse]

I tried merging my git-prompt.zsh with my .zshrc but I only ended up breaking fizsh's ability to display repo information.

I am skeptical that sourcing git-prompt.zsh would cause the lack of color in my PS1 that I inputted in my .zshrc here:

autoload -U colors && colors
# Colors
eval red='$FG[203]'
eval green='$FG[184]'
eval yellow='$FG[221]'
eval blue='$FG[081]'
eval grey='$FG[145]'
local _current_dir="%{$green%}%1~%{$reset_color%} "

PS1="%{$red%}%n%{$reset_color%}%{$grey%}@%{$yellow%}%m ${_current_dir}%{$blue%}%v%{$reset_color%} $ "

[gatlinnewhouse]

I think I may switch to Oh-My-Zsh since it also has matlab like history searches via the substring search module

[guidovansteen]

It is a free world. zsh-history-substring-search is included in both Oh-My-Zsh and fizsh. (I am one of the authors of zsh-history-substring-search).
