How to handle shell prompts for colocated repositorys?

[johanneskastl]

Hi all,

as the majority of my repos is not yet converted to jj, does anyone have a solution to only show the git prompt in git repos that do not yet have a .jj repository?

I would like to keep using the git prompt for all those repos instead of disabling it completely...

Kind Regards,
Johannes

As a crude hack, I am currently not showing the git prompt if there is a .jj directory, using a simple test.

export PS1="${GREEN}\u${WHITE}@${RED}\H${WHITE}:${BLUE}\${PWD}${VIOLET}\$(test -d .jj > /dev/null || __git_ps1 \" (%s)\")${BLUE}>${WHITE}"

I'll see if I can just show the jj prompt instead.

I'm not sure if this is "blessed", but the best way might be to run jj root and check the exit code. (Plus, you'll get the root directory in case you need it for subsequent commands. In your current version, presumably it doesn't work if you're in a subdirectory of the repository?)

Of course you are correct. I am currently trying to modify the wiki example. It almost works, but it breaks long lines and word wraps in the terminal. Once I got this solved, I'll post my solution.
