# Informative git prompt for zsh in Linux

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt)

This prompt is a specialisation of repository called "Informative git prompt for zsh" for Kali Linux, which you can find [here](https://github.com/olivierverdier/zsh-git-prompt). Thanks to its author for the idea and implementation!

A `zsh` prompt that displays information about the current git repository. In particular the branch name, difference with remote branch, number of files staged, changed, etc.

## Designations
You can find all the repository state designations in the `zsh-git-kali-prompt.zsh` file by copying the repository.

## Dependencies

In order for git prompt for Linux to work, the following components must be installed on your local machine:

1. [Git](https://git-scm.com/).
2. [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/). In scripts, references to Python 3 appear as `python3`. If you have `python` installed, create a symbolic or hard-drive link with the `ln` command to `python3`, or simply rename them in the `zsh-git-kali-prompt.zsh` file.
3. For the git information prompt to work correctly, your **Kali Linux** must use the `zsh` UNIX command shell.

## Install

### Using the plugin manager under zsh:
1. Use the standard installation methods specific to your plugin under zsh.

### Edit your `~/.zshrc` file:
1. Clone this repository to the $HOME directory or some other location (I'll do it in $HOME, and use that as the path in the future).
2. Source the file `zsh-git-kali-prompt.plugin.zsh` from your `~/.zshrc` config file, and
configure your prompt. So, somewhere (might be in the end of the file) in `~/.zshrc` (**recommended at the end of the file**), you should have:

```sh
# zsh git prompt setup.
source $HOME/zsh-git-kali-prompt/zsh-git-kali-prompt.plugin.zsh
```
3. Restart the console, or write the `zsh` command to start a new session with the applied changes to the `~/.zshrc` settings.
4. Go in a git repository and test it! This only works if you are in a repository.

## Deletion

To remove the git command prompt, you need to remove the entire `zsh-git-kali-prompt` directory (where all the prompt scripts are located), and lines in `~/.zshrc` that you added there during installation.

## Customisation

- You may redefine the function `git_super_status` (after the `source` statement) to adapt it to your needs (to change the order in which the information is displayed).
- Define the variable `ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CACHE` in order to enable caching.
- You may also change a number of variables (which name start with `ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_`) to change the appearance of the prompt. Take a look in the file `zsh-git-kali-prompt.zsh` to see how the function `git_super_status` is defined, and what variables are available.
