fish_vcs_prompt - output version control system information for use in a prompt¶

Synopsis¶

fish\_vcs\_prompt

function fish\_promptprintf '%s' $PWD (fish\_vcs\_prompt) ' $ 'end

Description¶

The fish_vcs_prompt function displays information about the current version control system (VCS) repository, if any.

It calls out to VCS-specific functions. The currently supported systems are:

• fish_git_prompt

• fish_hg_prompt

• fish_svn_prompt

If a VCS isn’t installed, the respective function does nothing.

The Subversion prompt is disabled by default, because it’s slow on large repositories. To enable it, modify fish_vcs_prompt to uncomment it. See funced.

For more information, see the documentation for each of the functions above.

Example¶

A simple prompt that displays all known VCS info:

function fish\_prompt...set -g \_\_fish\_git\_prompt\_showupstream autoprintf '%s %s$' $PWD (fish\_vcs\_prompt)end
