Scripts to set up handy git aliases and terminal configurations

Usage

Minimize the size of the prompt, color-code the prompt's branch name based on current Git status:

• Git status
  • If clean git status, show green branch name
  • If staged, but uncommitted, changes, show yellow branch name
  • If unstaged changes, show red branch name
• State compared to origin
  • If branch is ahead of origin (un-pushed commits), show "up" arrow
  • If branch is behind origin (you haven't pulled in a while), show "down" arrow
• Last command exit status
  • If the last run command succeeded, show "$" in normal color
  • If the last run command failed, show "$" in red

Also shows the current directory in the XTerm tab instead of "Terminal".

To enable this, simply use the script at .bash_prompt:

cp .bash_prompt ~/.bash_prompt
# Add "source ~/.bash_prompt" to the bottom of "~/.bashrc"
# Get the new prompt
source ~/.bashrc

Git config and aliases

Run git-aliases.sh to setup some basic git configs, like colored statuses, your default email and name, and a bunch of handy aliases to save you keystrokes.

chmod +x git-aliases
./git-aliases
# Follow the prompt
