Git
===

Enhances the [Git][1] distributed version control system by providing aliases, functions and by exposing repository status information to prompts.

Git **1.7.2** is the [minimum required version][7].

Settings
--------

### Log

The format of the [git-log][8] output is configurable via the following style,
where context is *brief*, *oneline*, and *medium*, which will be passed to the
`--prety=format:` switch.

    zstyle ':prezto:module:git:log:context' format ''

### Status

Retrieving the status of a repository with submodules can take a long time.
Submodules may be ignored when they are *dirty*, *untracked*, *all*, or *none*.

    zstyle ':prezto:module:git:status:ignore' submodules 'all'

This setting affects all aliases and functions that call `git-status`.

Theming
-------

To display information about the current repository in a prompt, define the
following styles in the `prompt_name_setup` function, where the syntax for
setting a style is as follows.

    zstyle ':prezto:module:git:info:context:subcontext' format 'string'

### Special Action Contexts

| Name                 |   Format    | Description
| -------------------- | :---------: | -----------------------------------------
| apply                |    value    | Applying patches
| bisect               |    value    | Binary searching for changes
| cherry-pick          |    value    | Cherry picking
| cherry-pick-sequence |    value    | Cherry picking sequence
| merge                |    value    | Merging
| rebase               |    value    | Rebasing
| rebase-interactive   |    value    | Rebasing interactively
| rebase-merge         |    value    | Rebasing merge

First, format the repository state attributes. For example, to format the branch
and remote names, define the following styles.

    zstyle ':prezto:module:git:info:branch' format 'branch:%b'
    zstyle ':prezto:module:git:info:remote' format 'remote:%R'

Second, format how the above attributes are displayed in prompts.

    zstyle ':prezto:module:git:info:keys' format \
      'prompt'  ' git(%b)' \
      'rprompt' '[%R]'

Last, add `$git_info[prompt]` to `$PROMPT` and `$git_info[rprompt]` to
`$RPROMPT` respectively and call `git-info` in the `prompt_name_preexec` hook
function.
