To get a prompt which indicates Git-branch in Zsh

Question

I run the following codes separately as my prompt unsuccessfully in .zshrc. This suggests me that apparently I do not have a program called __git_ps1. It is not in MacPorts.

Answer 1

A lot of these solutions seemed slow for me when mashing the return key, so here's an option that is basic and speedy:

parse_git_branch() {
    git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/ (\1)/'
}

setopt PROMPT_SUBST
PROMPT='%9c%{%F{green}%}$(parse_git_branch)%{%F{none}%} $ '

You'll get a prompt that looks like this: ~/dev/project (feature-branch) $
