A personal project to create a decent git prompt in Rust.
I need a replacement for the quite nice bash git prompt, which is just too slow on Windows. Also I like to use other shells on Windows including cmd and tcc. And this has become an opportunity for me to learn Rust.
E.g., here's what I'm using right now...
# Setup variables for the binary and the non-git portions of the prompt
export GIT_PROMPT_BINARY=<path to git_prompt binary>
export GIT_PROMPT_START="${COLOR_GRAY}\T ${COLOR_BLUE}\h:${COLOR_GREEN}\w${COLOR_NONE} "
export GIT_PROMPT_END="\n>"
# This is executed by bash before each prompt, and it resets PS1 to
# be updated based upon the current state of the shell, assuming
# GIT_PROMPT_BINARY is valid.
set_prompt() {
if [[ -e $GIT_PROMPT_BINARY ]]; then
export PS1="${GIT_PROMPT_START}`${GIT_PROMPT_BINARY}`${GIT_PROMPT_END}"
fi
}
export PROMPT_COMMAND='set_prompt'
E.g., here's what I'm using right now...
SET GIT_PROMPT_BINARY=<path to git_prompt binary>
prompt `$e[1;30m$M $e[0;34m%COMPUTERNAME $e[0;32m$P$e[0m %@execstr[%GIT_PROMPT_BINARY]$_$g`
