Git branch everywhere

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

The current trend is to have the name of the current git branch everywhere. Personnaly I display it in my vim’s status bar, and in my zsh prompt.

Here is my vimrc configuration for this (I’m not the author of this function, and can’t remember where I saw it first):

set statusline=%<[%n]%m%r%h%w%{'['.(&fenc!=''?&fenc:&enc).':'.&ff}%{g:gitCurrentBranch}%{']'}%y\ %F%=%l,%c%V%8P
autocmd BufEnter * :call CurrentGitBranch()
 
let g:gitCurrentBranch = ''
function! CurrentGitBranch()
let cwd = getcwd()
cd %:p:h
let branch = matchlist(system('/usr/local/git/bin/git  branch -a --no-color'), '\v\* (\w*)\r?\n')
execute 'cd ' . cwd
if (len(branch))
let g:gitCurrentBranch = '][git:' . branch[1] . ''
else
let g:gitCurrentBranch = ''
endif
return g:gitCurrentBranch
endfunction
vim statusbar

vim statusbar

and my zshrc:

local git_b
git_b='$(get_git_prompt_info '%b')'
PROMPT="%(?..%U%?%u:) $git_b %40<...<%/%(#.%U>%u.%B>%b) "

with the following script S55_git

zsh git

zsh git
