What is git-prompt (olivierverdier)?
zsh-git-prompt is a Zsh shell extension that enhances the terminal prompt with detailed Git repository status information. It displays the current branch, remote tracking differences, and counts of staged, changed, and untracked files directly in the prompt. This eliminates the need to manually run Git status commands to understand the repository state.
Developers using Zsh who work frequently with Git repositories and want immediate visibility into their repository status without leaving the terminal. It's particularly useful for those managing complex branching workflows or multiple simultaneous changes.
It provides a comprehensive, at-a-glance view of Git status that's more detailed than most built-in prompts, with customizable symbols and optional performance optimization through a Haskell implementation. The project is lightweight, integrates seamlessly with existing Zsh configurations, and improves developer workflow efficiency.
