function parse*git_branch {
git branch 2>/dev/null | grep '*' | sed 's/\_ //'
}
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
PROMPT='%n@%m %1~ %F{yellow}$(parse_git_branch)%f %# '
This script can be added to ~/.zshrc
. After add it use source ~/.zshrc
, for update your shell environment.
The command line prompt will now display the current git branch if you are in a git repository.
