bash-preexec

This fork changes the default behaviour of bash-preexec - specifically the order of $PROMP_COMMAND. See below.

Background

This is a fork specifically to work around an issue occuring with direnv on Windows using git bash - it should not be used generally.

Installation

  • Download the .bashrc and bash-preexec.sh script from this repository.
  • Append the contents of .bashrc to your own ${HOME}/.bashrc.
  • Update the first 2 append lines to the correct paths for your system: 
    direnv_path="direnv"
bash_preexec_path="bash-preexec.sh"

Pre-existing installations of bash-preexec

This repository changes the way that bash-preexec.sh updates the $PROMPT_COMMAND variable. In the original repository, the $PROMPT_COMMAND variable is prepended with the bash-preexec precmd functions. However, to work-around the direnv error, we need precmd to run after direnv. This change can be seen on line 310 of bash-preexec.sh.
