showing git branch in path for linux
Reported by luckysmack | May 19th, 2010 @ 06:52 AM
on the following page:
http://infinitas.lighthouseapp.com/projects/43419/using-git-with-infinitas
you mention that the terminal path shows the branch in the path in windows, and yes that is windows only. But to add this ability in linux you can edit your ~/.bashrc file with the following:
parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/(\1)/'
}
export PS1='\[\033[0;35m\]\h\[\033[0;33m\] \w\[\033[00m\] $(parse_git_branch)$ '
the parse_git_branch function will pull the current projects branch name. the export line will add the branch name to the end of the path. For example, my path looks like so:
shamce /var/www/sites/shamce.net/shamce (dev) $
^computer name
shamce /var/www/sites/shamce.net/shamce (dev) $
-------^ path
shamce /var/www/sites/shamce.net/shamce (dev) $
-----------------------------------------^ branch
the export line will also colorize the path to make it more readable.
