I don't get why everyone wants git status on every prompt. It feels more of a distraction than necessity just to make it look prettier for screenshot purposes.

Most of the time I'm within a repo directory, I don't care in which branch or state it's in as I have other apps to take care of that and there are better info to be had like cwd, who you're, host name, exit code, time and time last command took for a prompt.
- petepete 5y agoI admit that having the branch name always there is overkill, but having it display your rebase status or flag when there are uncommitted changes is genuinely useful.
- wodenokoto 5y agoI use it all the time. When working in GCP, I could really have used a prompt that told me current gcp project. But sure, if you are not using hit in your shell, then you don’t need fit in your shell.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoIf you multitask between several projects, it becomes very useful very fast.
- diroussel 5y agoAlso it’s useful to see what branch you were on when you ran a particular command, as you scroll up through the commands and outputs you ran previously.
