git-bash-prompt

Bash prompt for giving detail information about status of current git repository.
Script extends PS1 variable preserving user's settings.

Description

Script distinguishes two states:

• clean repository (no changes found): ({branch} ✔)
• repository where changes are found: ({branch},↑ {nr},↓ {nr},✚ {nr},● {nr},✖ {nr},? {nr},⚑ {nr})

where:

• {branch}: name of the current branch
• ↑: local branch is ahead of origin branch
• ↓: local branch is behind origin branch
• ✚: added files
• ●: modified or renamed files
• ✖: removed files
• ?: untracked files
• ⚑: number of stashed changes
• {nr}: number of changes

Script displays only information about found changes thus empy statuses are skipped ({nr}=0).
