First off, I shamelessly stole this from http://www.bramschoenmakers.nl/en/node/624 But I wanted to be able to find it quickly
- ssh into your Homestead vagrant box
- Update the Ubuntu packages with
sudo apt-get update
- Install bash-completion with
sudo apt-get install bash-completion
- Open up your .bashrc file by with
vim ~/.bashrc
- Toward the top (somewhere above where the
PS1=
is) add this
# Bash completion
if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi
export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1
(The if statement checks on if the package installed)
-
On the way down the page, might as well uncomment
force_color_prompt=yes
(remove the hash from the first character of the line) -
Below that you will find
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
You will need to add in PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w\[\033[01;33m\]$(__git_ps1)\[\033[01;34m\] \$\[\033[00m\] '
which for me looks like
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
#PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w\[\033[01;33m\]$(__git_ps1)\[\033[01;34m\] \$\[\033[00m\] '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
when I am done.
-
Save that file and at the prompt type
source ~/.bashrc
to reload it. -
If you go into a directory with git you will see what branch you have checked out as well as a
+
if there are files to add (git add --all
) and a*
if there are uncommited files (git commit -m ':cake:'
)
There you go!
