Git

What#

Display git information when in a git repository. Also works for subfolders. For maximum compatibility, make sure your git executable is up-to-date (when branch or status information is incorrect for example).

Local changes can also be displayed which uses the following syntax for both the working and staging area:

  • + added
  • ~ modified
  • - deleted
  • ? untracked
tip

PowerShell offers support for the posh-git module for autocompletion, but it is disabled by default. To enable this, set $env:POSH_GIT_ENABLED = $true in your $PROFILE.

warning

Starting from version 3.152.0, display_status is disabled by default. It improves performance but reduces the quantity of information. Don't forget to enable it in your theme if needed. An alternative is to use the Posh-Git segment

Fetching information#

As doing multiple git calls can slow down the prompt experience, we do not fetch information by default. You can set the following properties to true to enable fetching additional information (and populate the template).

  • fetch_status: boolean - fetch the local changes - defaults to false
  • fetch_stash_count: boolean fetch stash count - defaults to false
  • fetch_worktree_count: boolean fetch worktree count - defaults to false
  • fetch_upstream_icon: boolean - fetch upstream icon - defaults to false
  • untracked_modes: map[string]string - map of repo's where to override the default untracked mode (no | normal | all). For example "untracked_modes": { "/Users/me/repos/repo1": "no" } - defaults to normal for all repo's

Icons#

Branch#

  • branch_icon: string - the icon to use in front of the git branch name - defaults to \uE0A0

  • branch_behind_icon: string - the icon to display when the local branch is behind its remote - defaults to \u2193
  • branch_gone_icon: string - the icon to display when there's no remote branch - defaults to \u2262
  • branch_max_length: int - the max length for the displayed branch name where 0 implies full length - defaults to 0
