Thanks for the Info. I am using Oh my zsh based on zsh where you see the current branch directly in your prompt. It is very easy to install (it is a git repo itself with install script on github), so I even install it in some dev docker containers.
my favorite theme:
I'm tempted to use zsh with Oh my zsh (along with Vim), but haven't quite decided to switch over yet. My bash has something similar, where the branch is in the prompt:
without trying to sound like a salesman ;) (it is open-source anyway): i foremost like the completion from history (works with spaces too). e.g. type: git commit + arrow up and you get all your recent commit commands. :)
me too:)
I was used to do the following
git branch | grep -e "^\*" | cut -d " " -f 2This alternative, as it happens a lot with git, doesn't expose its purpuse clearly, but at least it provides a way to get the current branch, so I guess I will move to this approach instead.
Thanks for sharing!
If still you wish to use
git branchwithout copy and paste you can probably try thisgit branch | while read -r line ; do; if [[ ${line:0:1} == "*" ]]; then; echo $line | awk '{print $2}'; fi; doneWhile not a fancy one-liner or anything, I tend to just use
git statusto see "On branch ____" and just copy that as needed. Not great for scripting but easy to rememberThis is what I do too. Or in Sublime using the Git plugin, activate the command palette then type "br" which jumps to "Git: Change Branch" with an asterisk next to the current branch.
Alias for bash to show current branch in folder:
parse_git_branch() {git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}
export PS1="\w$(parse_git_branch)"
