What does git [master +2 ~1 -0 !] mean?
This is not an error, just some helpful information.
I suppose you are using Github For Windows
- it uses posh-git by default, and the prompt is explained in the README of posh-git
itself:
+ = Added files~ = Modified files- = Removed files! = Conflicted files
Go through the README and you can see how it relates to the git status
output.
That prompt probably meant:
In your current git branch - master
, you had added two files +2
, modified one ~1
and removed zero -0
. Check this comment for more info.!
signifies you are currently at the root of the repository.
Not sure which shell you are using - But you may want to check the PROMPT
and PS1
environment variables to find what those items mean in your prompt.
The prompt got reset to just [master]
- once you had committed all the changes, as you mentioned in your questions.
PROMPT
environment variable is the one used by the windows shell cmd
, and PS1
is used by unixy shells - like bash.
Edit: Totally missed the powershell
tag you put in there - I'm not a windows guy - but looks like in powershell you create a prompt
function - check this link: http://www.johndcook.com/blog/2008/05/12/customizing-the-powershell-command-prompt/
