gitprompt

A simple python script to indicate current git branch and status in bash prompt.

Install

Clone this repo somewhere on your machine:

cd [somedir]
git clone https://github.com/richardbann/gitprompt.git

Now append this code to your .bashrc:

set_bash_prompt(){
    PS1="$(python [somedir]/gitprompt/prompt.py)"
}

PROMPT_COMMAND=set_bash_prompt

Be careful to change somedir above according to where you have cloned the repo.

The script assumes 256 color terminal, so modification to color codes may be needed. Find additional help on terminal coloring: http://misc.flogisoft.com/bash/tip_colors_and_formatting

You can see experiment with foreground and background colors by running 256-colors.sh from the site above.
