I spend a lot of time on a computer, and I have thoroughly customed my environment to be just the way I like it. It's over here on Github, and I use it everywhere.
In late 2015, bash
4.4 or so picked up the ability to display a PS1-style prompt immediately before a command starts. They called the environment variable that houses this prompt definition PS0
. This broke gitprompt something fierce.
Today, I installed A 4.4.x bash on one of my FreeBSD boxen, and got bit.
I patched gitprompt on my local env, but since I don't know where it canonically lives, I couldn't patch it "upstream" — c'est la vie!
tl;dr If you want to upgrade to Bash 4.4.x, and you use gitprompt
, you really want to apply this patch, and if you are setting $PS0
for a custom gitprompt, change that over to PSGIT
.
