If you cd to a SVN working directory, you will see the current SVN relative URL
name displayed in your terminal prompt (based on the svn common patterns). When you're not in a SVN working
directory, your prompt works like normal.
Clone the project to a .bash folder in your home directory:
mkdir ~/.bash
cd ~/.bash
git clone [email protected]:malfter/svn-aware-prompt.gitEdit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile and add the following to the top:
export SVNAWAREPROMPT=~/.bash/svn-aware-prompt
source $SVNAWAREPROMPT/main.shOnce installed, there will be new $svn_branch and $svn_dirty variables
available to use in the PS1 environment variable, along with a number of
color helper variables which you can see a list of in colors.sh.
If you want to know more about how to customize your prompt, I recommend this article: How to: Change / Setup bash custom prompt (PS1)
Below are a few suggested prompt configurations. Simply paste the code at the end of the same file you pasted the installation code into earlier.
export PS1="\u@\h \w \[$txtcyn\]\$svn_branch\[$txtred\]\$svn_dirty\[$txtrst\]\$ "Optionally, if you want a nice pretty prompt when using sudo -s, also add
this line:
export SUDO_PS1="\[$bakred\]\u@\h\[$txtrst\] \w\$ "Standard:
export PS1="\${debian_chroot:+(\$debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w \[$txtcyn\]\$svn_branch\[$txtred\]\$svn_dirty\[$txtrst\]\$ "Colorized:
export PS1="\${debian_chroot:+(\$debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\] \[$txtcyn\]\$svn_branch\[$txtred\]\$svn_dirty\[$txtrst\]\$ "Assuming you followed the default installation instructions and cloned this
repo to ~/.bash/svn-aware-prompt:
cd ~/.bash/svn-aware-prompt
git pullThis project based on jimeh/git-aware-prompt.
