A smart Git prompt for your terminal powered by Node.js.

## Requirements

### System

* Bash 3.2.x

* [Fish](https://fishshell.com/) 2.5.x

* Zsh 5.3

* [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (tested with 0.10.x, 5.7.x, 6.9.x, 10.x).

* [Git](https://git-scm.com/) (tested with 1.9.x, 2.7.x, 2.11.x, 2.14.x, 2.25.x).

**Note:** There is a good change Nodeprompt will work with other configurations — just give it a shot and let me know!

### Font

**Since v2.0.0 Nodeprompt requires some special (powerline) symbols to be supported by the terminal font to render properly.**

Some fonts support those symbols (glyphs) out–of–the–box, for instance, [Fira Code](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode) used in examples below. Many open–source fonts have been patched and [can be downloaded from GitHub](https://github.com/powerline/fonts). If neither works for you, you can google "[your font name] powerline" because it's likely someone patched your favorite font and posted it on–line.

**A note for iTerm 2 users**: Make sure the powerline–compatible font is enabled in both  `Profiles > Text > Font` and `Profiles > Text > Non–ASCII Font`.

## Installation

1. Call `npm install -g nodeprompt` (or `yarn global add nodeprompt`).

2. Configure your shell:

	### Bash

	Put the following line:

	```bash

	. nodeprompt-enable-bash

	```

	in your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_profile` file. Re–open the terminal window or source the file, e.g. `source ~/.bashrc`.

	### Zsh

	Put the following lines:

	```bash

	. nodeprompt-enable-zsh

	```

	in your `~/.zshrc` file. Re–open the terminal window or `source ~/.zshrc`.

	### Fish

	Create a symbolic link to the `fish_prompt.fish` function file:

	```bash

	ln -s /path/to/../nodeprompt/bin/fish_prompt.fish ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish

	```

	Re–open the terminal window.

1. Enjoy your beautiful prompt!

## Configuration and customization

Nodeprompt is configurable and things like the length of the SHA-1 hash or the number of levels displayed in the path can be adjusted. It is also possible to create a new prompt template from scratch, if that's what you want to do tonight.

**Note**: You **don't** have to configure Nodeprompt. By default, it uses [`config.default.js`](https://github.com/oleq/nodeprompt/blob/master/config.default.js).

The config file is a plain Node.js module. To configure your prompt, create a `~/.nodeprompt/config.user.js` file with `module.exports`:

```js

module.exports = {

    option: 'value'

};

```

or simply copy [the default configuration](https://github.com/oleq/nodeprompt/blob/master/config.default.js) and modify it. Refer to the [documentation](https://github.com/oleq/nodeprompt/blob/master/config.default.js) to learn more.

## Using as a library

Nodeprompt can be used as a utility to obtain the status of the Git repository. Use the `model` property to build your own prompt or logger on top of the library:

```js

const Nodeprompt = require( './lib/nodeprompt.js' );

const prompt = new Nodeprompt();

console.log( prompt.model );

> {

	pwd: '/Users/oleq/nodeprompt',

	home: '/Users/oleq',

	gitDir: '.git',

	isGit: true,

	hostname: 'MBP',

	username: 'oleq',

	path: [ '~', 'nodeprompt' ],

	namerev: 'v1.0',

	head: 'ref: refs/heads/v1.0',

	hash: 'b22bb89',

	mergeHead: '',

	isInit: false,

	isBisecting: false,

	isDetached: false,

	isMerging: false,

	modified: 2,

	added: 0,

	untracked: 0,

	ahead: 2,

	behind: 0,

	branch: 'v1.0',

	hasDiverged: false

}

```
