Bash command prompt with virtualenv and git branch
I got it working the way I want by changing the command prompt code to the following in my bashrc file:
# bash_prompt# The various escape codes that we can use to color our prompt. RED="\[\033[0;31m\]" YELLOW="\[\033[1;33m\]" GREEN="\[\033[0;32m\]" BLUE="\[\033[1;34m\]" LIGHT_RED="\[\033[1;31m\]"LIGHT_GREEN="\[\033[1;32m\]" WHITE="\[\033[1;37m\]" LIGHT_GRAY="\[\033[0;37m\]" COLOR_NONE="\[\e[0m\]" # Detect whether the current directory is a git repository. function is_git_repository { git branch > /dev/null 2>&1 } function set_git_branch { # Set the final branch string BRANCH=`parse_git_branch` local TIME=`fmt_time` # format time for prompt string } function parse_git_branch() { git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e "s/* \(.*\)/\1$(parse_git_dirty)/" } function parse_git_dirty() { [[ $(git status 2> /dev/null | tail -n1) != *"working directory clean"* ]] && echo "*" } fmt_time () { #format time just the way I likes it if [ `date +%p` = "PM" ]; then meridiem="pm" else meridiem="am" fi date +"%l:%M:%S$meridiem"|sed 's/ //g' } # Return the prompt symbol to use, colorized based on the return value of the # previous command. function set_prompt_symbol () { if test $1 -eq 0 ; then PROMPT_SYMBOL="\$" else PROMPT_SYMBOL="${LIGHT_RED}\$${COLOR_NONE}" fi } # Determine active Python virtualenv details. function set_virtualenv () { if test -z "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ; then PYTHON_VIRTUALENV="" else PYTHON_VIRTUALENV="${BLUE}[`basename \"$VIRTUAL_ENV\"`]${COLOR_NONE} " fi } # Set the full bash prompt. function set_bash_prompt () { # Set the PROMPT_SYMBOL variable. We do this first so we don't lose the # return value of the last command. set_prompt_symbol $? # Set the PYTHON_VIRTUALENV variable. set_virtualenv # Set the BRANCH variable. if is_git_repository ; then set_git_branch else BRANCH='' fi # Set the bash prompt variable. PS1="${PYTHON_VIRTUALENV}${YELLOW}\w${COLOR_NONE} ${BRANCH}${PROMPT_SYMBOL} " } # Tell bash to execute this function just before displaying its prompt. PROMPT_COMMAND=set_bash_prompt
for simplicity, to show git prompt and virtual env you just need this:
export PS1="\[\033[1;31m\]`basename \"$VIRTUAL_ENV\"` $(__git_ps1 "(git:%s)")"
