prezto/modules/git

Git

Enhances the Git 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.

Settings

Log

The format of the git-log output is configurable via the following style, where context is brief, oneline, and medium, which will be passed to the --pretty=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.

Shadows

If you frequently use the above commands, you may wish to remove said aliases from this module or to disable them at the bottom of the zshrc with unalias.

You can temporarily bypass an alias by prefixing it with a backward slash: \gpt.

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'

Main Contexts

Name	Format Code	Description
action	%s	Special action name
added	%a	Added files count
ahead	%A	Commits ahead of remote count
behind	%B	Commits behind of remote count
branch	%b	Branch name
commit	%c	Commit hash
clean	%C	Clean state
deleted	%d	Deleted files count
dirty	%D	Dirty files count
modified	%m	Modified files count
position	%p	Commits from the nearest tag count
remote	%R	Remote name
renamed	%r	Renamed files count
stashed	%S	Stashed states count
unmerged	%U	Unmerged files count
untracked	%u	Untracked files count

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.
