2021-05-13git-prompt: work under set -uLibravatar Elijah Newren1-3/+3
Commit afda36dbf3 ("git-prompt: include sparsity state as well", 2020-06-21) added the use of some variables to control how to show sparsity state in the git prompt, but implicitly assumed that undefined variables would be treated as the empty string. This breaks users who run under 'set -u'; fix the code to be more explicit. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-11-01git-prompt.sh: localize `option` in __git_ps1_show_upstreamLibravatar Sibo Dong1-0/+1
The variable 'option' is used in __git_ps1_show_upstream() without being localized. This clobbers the variable the user may be using for other purposes, which is bad. Luckily, $option is not used to carry information around in the script as a global variable. The use of it in this script has very limited scope (namely, only inside this function), so just declare that it is "local".

We don't need PROMPT_COMMAND in Zsh; we are already using %F{color} %f, which in turn use %{ and %}, which are the equivalent of Bash's \[ and \].

2020-06-22git-prompt: include sparsity state as wellLibravatar Elijah Newren1-2/+20
git-prompt includes the current branch, a bunch of single character mini-state displayers, and some much longer in-progress state notifications. The current branch is always shown. The single character mini-state displayers are all off by default (they are not self explanatory) but each has an environment variable for turning it on. The in-progress state notifications provide no configuration options for turning them off, and can be up to 15 characters long (e.g. "|REBASE (12/18)" or "|CHERRY-PICKING"). The single character mini-state tends to be used for things like "Do you have any stashes in refs/stash?" or "Are you ahead or behind of upstream?". These are things which users can take advantage of but do not affect most normal git operations. The in-progress states, by contrast, suggest the user needs to interact differently and may also prevent some normal operations from succeeding (e.g. git switch may show an error instead of switching branches). Sparsity is like the in-progress states in that it suggests a fundamental different interaction with the repository (many of the files from the repository are not present in your working copy!). A few commits ago added sparsity information to wt_longstatus_print_state(), grouping it with other in-progress state displays. We do similarly here with the prompt and show the extra state, by default, with an extra |SPARSE This state can be present simultaneously with the in-progress states, in which case it will appear before the other states; for example, (branchname|SPARSE|REBASE 6/10) The reason for showing the "|SPARSE" substring before other states is to emphasize those other states. Sparsity is probably not going to change much within a repository, while temporary operations will. So we want the state changes related to temporary operations to be listed last, to make them appear closer to where the user types and make them more likely to be noticed. The fact that sparsity isn't just cached metadata or additional information is what leads us to show it more similarly to the in-progress states, but the fact that sparsity is not transient like the in-progress states might cause some users to want an abbreviated notification of sparsity state or perhaps even be able to turn it off. Allow GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE to be set to request that it be shortened to a single character ('?'), and GIT_PS1_OMITSPARSESTATE to be set to request that sparsity state be omitted from the prompt entirely.

2020-02-16git-prompt: change the prompt for interactive-based rebasesLibravatar Elijah Newren1-5/+1
In the past, we had different prompts for different types of rebases: REBASE: for am-based rebases REBASE-m: for merge-based rebases REBASE-i: for interactive-based rebases It's not clear why this distinction was necessary or helpful; when the prompt was added in commit e75201963f67 ("Improve bash prompt to detect various states like an unfinished merge", 2007-09-30), it simply added these three different types. Perhaps there was a useful purpose back then, but there have been some changes: * The merge backend was deleted after being implemented on top of the interactive backend, causing the prompt for merge-based rebases to change from REBASE-m to REBASE-i. * The interactive backend is used for multiple different types of non-interactive rebases, so the "-i" part of the prompt doesn't really mean what it used to. * Rebase backends have gained more abilities and have a great deal of overlap, sometimes making it hard to distinguish them. * Behavioral differences between the backends have also been ironed out. * We want to change the default backend from am to interactive, which means people would get "REBASE-i" by default if we didn't change the prompt, and only if they specified --am or --whitespace or -C would they get the "REBASE" prompt. * In the future, we plan to have "--whitespace", "-C", and even "--am" run the interactive backend once it can handle everything the am-backend can. For all these reasons, make the prompt for any type of rebase just be "REBASE". Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-12-06git-prompt: fix reading files with windows line endingsLibravatar Robert Abel1-1/+1
If any of the files read by __git_eread have \r\n line endings, read will only strip \n, leaving \r. This results in an ugly prompt, where instead of user@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master) the last parenthesis is printed over the beginning of the prompt like )ser@pc MINGW64 /path/to/repo (BARE:master This patch fixes the issue by changing the internal field separator variable IFS to $'\r\n' before using the read builtin command.

2015-11-24bash prompt: indicate dirty index even on orphan branchesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-3/+2
__git_ps1() doesn't indicate dirty index while on an orphan branch. To check the dirtiness of the index, __git_ps1() runs 'git diff-index --cached ... HEAD', which doesn't work on an orphan branch, because HEAD doesn't point to a valid commit. Run 'git diff ... --cached' instead, as it does the right thing both on valid and invalid HEAD, i.e. compares the index to the existing HEAD in the former case and to the empty tree in the latter. This fixes the two failing tests added in the first commit of this series. The dirtiness of the worktree is already checked with 'git diff' and is displayed correctly even on an orphan branch.

2015-07-20bash prompt: faster untracked status indicator with untracked directoriesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
If the untracked status indicator is enabled, __git_ps1() looks for untracked files by running 'git ls-files'. This can be perceptibly slow in case of an untracked directory containing lot of files, because it lists all files found in the untracked directory only to be redirected into /dev/null right away (this is the actual command run by __git_ps1()): $ ls untracked-dir/ |wc -l 100000 $ time git ls-files --others --exclude-standard --error-unmatch \ -- ':/*' >/dev/null 2>/dev/null real 0m0.955s user 0m0.936s sys 0m0.016s Eliminate this delay by additionally passing the '--directory --no-empty-directory' options to 'git ls-files' to show only the name of non-empty untracked directories instead of all their content: $ time git ls-files --others --exclude-standard --directory \ --no-empty-directory --error-unmatch -- ':/*' >/dev/null 2>/dev/null real 0m0.010s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.000s This follows suit of ea95c7b8f5 (completion: improve untracked directory filtering for filename completion, 2013-09-18).

Optionally set __git_ps1 to display nothing when present working directory is ignored, triggered by the new environment variable GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED. This environment variable may be overridden on any repository by setting bash.hideIfPwdIgnored to "false". In the absence of GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED this change has no effect. Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git. This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top level" repo while working in any descendant directory.

2013-06-24bash prompt: mention that PROMPT_COMMAND mode is fasterLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-5/+5
__git_ps1() is usually added to the prompt inside a command substitution, imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell. Using __git_ps1() for $PROMPT_COMMAND is slightly faster, because it avoids that command substitution. Mention this in the comments about setting up the git prompt. The whole series speeds up the bash prompt on Windows/MSysGit considerably. Here are some timing results in three scenarios, each repeated 10 times: At the top of the work tree, before: $ time for i in {0..9} ; do prompt="$(__git_ps1)" ; done real 0m1.716s user 0m0.301s sys 0m0.772s After: real 0m0.687s user 0m0.075s sys 0m0.396s After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND: $ time for i in {0..9} ; do __git_ps1 '\h:\w' '$ ' ; done real 0m0.546s user 0m0.075s sys 0m0.181s At the top of the work tree, detached head, before: real 0m2.574s user 0m0.376s sys 0m1.207s After: real 0m1.139s user 0m0.151s sys 0m0.500s After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND: real 0m1.030s user 0m0.245s sys 0m0.336s In a subdirectory, during rebase, stash status indicator enabled, before: real 0m3.557s user 0m0.495s sys 0m1.767s After: real 0m0.717s user 0m0.120s sys 0m0.300s After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND: real 0m0.577s user 0m0.047s sys 0m0.258s On Linux the speedup ratio is comparable to Windows, but overall it was about an order of magnitude faster to begin with.

2013-06-24bash prompt: avoid command substitution when finalizing gitstringLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+5
Before setting $PS1, __git_ps1() uses a command substitution to redirect the output from a printf into a variable. Spare the overhead of fork()ing a subshell by using 'printf -v <var>' to directly assign the output to that variable. zsh's printf doesn't support the '-v <var>' option, so stick with the command substitution when under zsh.

2013-06-24bash prompt: avoid command substitution when checking for untracked filesLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+1
When enabled, the bash prompt can indicate the presence of untracked files with a '%' sign. __git_ps1() checks for untracked files by running the '$(git ls-files --others --exclude-standard)' command substitution, and displays the indicator when there is no output. Avoid this command substitution by additionally passing '--error-unmatch *', and checking the command's return value. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@ira.uka.de>
