Open ~/.zshrc in your favorite editor and add the following content to the bottom.
function parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -n -e 's/^\* \(.*\)/[\1]/p'
}
COLOR_DEF=$'\e[0m'
COLOR_USR=$'\e[38;5;243m'
COLOR_DIR=$'\e[38;5;197m'
COLOR_GIT=$'\e[38;5;39m'
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
export PROMPT='${COLOR_USR}%n ${COLOR_DIR}%~ ${COLOR_GIT}$(parse_git_branch)${COLOR_DEF} $ '
Looks Clean !!!
Thanks!! 👍
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks
This is exactly what I was looking for... thank you!
Simple and exactly what I was looking for... thanks!! 💯
but it adds unneccesary space when I opening the non git folder, could we do something about that?
the syntax to get the branch also could be simpler we could do this now
git branch --show-current
It works great, thanks!
I have a two line prompt:
function parse_git_branch() {
git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -n -e 's/^\* \(.*\)/[\1]/p'
}
COLOR_DEF=$'%f'
COLOR_DATE=$'%F{243}'
COLOR_DIR=$'%F{197}'
COLOR_GIT=$'%F{39}'
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
PROMPT_CWD='${COLOR_DIR}%~ ${COLOR_GIT}$(parse_git_branch)${COLOR_DEF}'
export NEWLINE=$'\n'
export PROMPT="${NEWLINE}${PROMPT_CWD}${NEWLINE}${COLOR_DATE}%D{%H:%M:%S}${COLOR_DEF} $ "I don't need USER, so I changed COLOR_USER to COLOR_DATE.
Here is what it looks like, with the directory name in red, the branch in blue, and the date in faded gray:
~/go/src/github.com/jftuga/dtdiff [dev]
17:35:28 $ What I like about having the time:
thanks!
Amazing, thanks !
Thank you.
This is great thanks!
Is there a way to make it change as i move directories/branches?
Scenario 1
I am on branch main the prompt shows my branch as main i switch to branch feature-X the prompt still shows I am on branch main
Scenario 2
Lets say I have 2 repositories repository A and repository B If I am on branch main in repository A and then run cd ../repository B and I am on feature-branch-X in that repository, then the prompt still shows I am on main which is not true. Is there a way to change this?
IDK if this is an issue that just I'm having or if its something I'm doing wrong etc.
Looks great. Thanks!
That's great, thank you!
Just one issue: I have to run the source ~/.zshrc (in my case source ~/.zprofile) command each time I open a new terminal tab or window. Is there a way to run this automatically?

The ~/. zprofile file is only evaluated when you login to your mac user account. The . zshrc (environment for interactive shells) should be used for parameters like $PROMPT, aliases, functions, options, history variables and bind keymappings you would like to have in both login and interactive shells.
What's preventing you from using the .zshrc file?

Thanks for the reply.
When I installed nvm via Homebrew, I got these 3 items created
.zprofile
.zsh_history
.zsh__sessions (folder)
I thought .zshrc would be one of them (It's been a while since last time I've done this for a new machine!), but since it wasn't there, I've done some research and found out that .zshrc and .zprofile should be the same: I guess they are not!
I'll try create a .zshrc manually then.
That is awesome
Nice! Worked for me. Thank you!
Thank you. I used your version for sometimes until I think I need some adjustment for git status so I created new gist.
Other can use as well or just copy git_status function to your zshrc file and change your exist prompt.

This is awesome, thanks.
thank you
Nice, clean and fast. Thanks!
actual git command that doesn't require extra parsing git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
Thx
Thanks. Though there is a problem for me. When I switch to another git directory, the branch remains the old one.
Perfect! Thank you!
helpful, thanks bro
