[PATCH] git-prompt.sh: Omit prompt for ignored directories

[PATCH] git-prompt.sh: Omit prompt for ignored directories

[Jess Austin]

Introduce a new environmental variable, GIT_PS1_OMITIGNORED, which
tells __git_ps1 to display nothing when the current directory is
set (e.g. via .gitignore) to be ignored by git. In the absence of
GIT_PS1_OMITIGNORED this change has no effect.

Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git.
This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top
level" repo while working in any descendant directory. That can be
distracting, so this patch helps one shut off that noise.

Interesting idea, though I would prefer this to be configurable on a
per-repository basis.  (I wouldn't want to hide the prompt in any
repository besides my home repository.)

I'm not a big fan of the name "OMITIGNORED" (it's not immediately
obvious what this means), but I can't think of anything better off the
top of my head...

Sorry my description was unclear. Let's say you have a repo in "~",
and another in "~/projects/foo". Also, the file "~/.gitignore" has the line
"projects/" in it. In this case, you'd see repo info in your prompt while
in "~" or in "~/projects/foo", but not if you were in "~/projects". In that
sense, the prompt is not distracting you with the status of the top-level
repo when you're not looking at anything in that repo.

I'm definitely open to suggestions.

I understand; I was concerned about this case:

$ PS1='\n\w$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")\n\$ '

/home/rhansen/projects (dotfiles)
$ GIT_PS1_OMITIGNORED=y

/home/rhansen/projects              <-- Git prompt goes away as desired
$ cd foo

/home/rhansen/projects/foo (master) <-- Git prompt back as expected
$ echo ignored/ >>.gitignore && mkdir -p ignored && cd ignored

/home/rhansen/projects/foo/ignored  <-- I want the Git prompt here
$

In other words:  If I were to use this feature, I'd want to be able to
hide the prompt when I'm in an ignored directory in my dotfiles work
tree, but show the prompt when I'm in an ignored directory in any other
work tree.

Would you want this configured in each repo (i.e. via a line in ".git/config"),
or would you prefer something global so that it only need be set in one
place? I'm not sure how the latter technique would work, so if that seems
better please advise on how to go about that.

cheers,
Jess

A 'git config' variable is fine.  The bash.showDirtyState,
bash.showUntrackedFiles, and bash.showUpstream config variables seem
like good examples to follow.

[PATCH] git-prompt.sh: Hide prompt for ignored pwd

[Jess Austin]

Set __git_ps1 to display nothing when present working directory is
ignored, triggered by either the new environmental variable
GIT_PS1_HIDE_ON_IGNORED_PWD or the new repository configuration
variable bash.hideOnIgnoredPwd (or both). In the absence of these
settings this change has no effect.

Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git.
This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top
level" repo while working in any descendant directory. That can be
distracting, so this patch helps one shut off that noise.

I think this is what you meant. I changed the name of the envvar. Now the
variables are GIT_PS1_HIDE_ON_IGNORED_PWD and bash.hideOnIgnoredPwd. I
admit these are still kind of unwieldy, but maybe now they're more descriptive?

Please advise!

Jess

Ahem, no. Please do not punish users who are not interested in the new
feature with two new processes every time __git_ps() is run. Think of
Windows where fork() is really, *really* expensive.

BTW, you can write '{ foo || bar; }' to bracket a || chain without a
sub-process.

Is this why bash.showDirtyState and friends aren't checked unless the
corresponding environment variable is set to a non-empty value?

Regardless, it would be nice if the behavior matched the other bash.*
variables (only check the bash.* variable if the corresponding
environment variable is set, and default to true).  The following should
fix it:

    if [ -n "${GIT_PS1_HIDE_ON_IGNORED_PWD}" ] &&
       [ "$(git config --bool bash.hideOnIgnoredPwd)" != "false" ] &&
       [ "$(git check-ignore .)" ]
    then
            ...

I do prefer the new names.  They are long, but how often will someone
have to type it?  In this case it's better to be descriptive than to be
short.  (I wonder if adding two letters would improve readability
further:  GIT_PS1_HIDE_WHEN_PWD_IGNORED and bash.hideWhenPwdIgnored.)

To avoid scaring people who might not want this feature enabled, I
recommend changing the subject line to something like this:

As mentioned in my previous email, I would prefer the code to follow the
behavior of the other config variables (the environment variable has to
be set *and* the config variable has to be non-false).

Rather than:

    [ -n "$(git check-ignore .)" ]

I would prefer:

    git check-ignore -q .

For example:

    if [ -n "${GIT_PS1_HIDE_ON_IGNORED_PWD}" ] &&
       [ "$(git config --bool bash.hideOnIgnoredPwd)" != "false" ] &&
       git check-ignore -q .

[PATCH] git-prompt.sh: Option to hide prompt for ignored pwd

[Jess Austin]

Optionally set __git_ps1 to display nothing when present working
directory is ignored, triggered by the new environmental variable
GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED. This environmental variable may be
overridden on any repository by setting bash.hideIfPwdIgnored to
"false". In the absence of GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED this change
has no effect.

Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git.
This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top
level" repo while working in any descendant directory. That can be
distracting, so this patch helps one shut off that noise.

Thanks for helping me understand this! I think I have it correct now.

We got those two letters back with GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED and
bash.hideIfPwdIgnored.

This is broken in pcmode due to a Bash bug.  The command:
    printf -v foo "" asdf
is a no-op in Bash.  The variable foo is never changed in any way --
it is neither unset nor set to the empty string.

Also, I noticed that I get an error message if I cd into .git:
    fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

I think the following change will fix the above issues, and it has the
advantage of avoiding unnecessary work if the directory is ignored:

It would be good to add additional test cases for pcmode (two or three
arguments to __git_ps1) and 'cd .git' so that the above issues don't
reappear.

modified to include the changes I suggested in:

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/258355

I never heard back regarding my suggested changes.  The feature was so
close to ready and I thought it would be a shame for the feature to

Perhaps nobody had much interest in the original or the update.
Occassionally resending with improvements like this is a good way to
show it to more people who may have missed it the last time to
solicit comments and supports.

I am personally not very interested, as you and the original made it
sound as if this is primarily for those who keep track of $HOME/.dot
files in $HOME/.git, which is one of the ways I would never use Git.

But I do not have to be the target of each and every new feature ;-).

Don't you need to do something similar here?

There are already two places where "under pcmode, we need to set PS1
to this empty thing" is known, and this patch adds yet another.
Would it be sensible to refactor that into a helper function, or
open coding them this way is necessary for performance or some other
reasons?

I do keep my dotfiles in a Git repository (~/.git exists), yet I
wouldn't use this feature either.  (I just use refs/heads/dotfiles as
HEAD so that my prompt is unique when I'm not in some project working
directory.)

However, it doesn't seem like a very invasive change to me, and at
least one person wants this feature (evidenced by Jess Austin going to
the trouble of submitting a patch), so I thought I'd help it along.

If someone has a reasonable objection to this feature, or even if
there's not enough positive interest, I wouldn't be too sad to see it
not get adopted.

Yes; fixed.

I thought about factoring it out, but didn't because defining a
function with just three lines seemed awkward.  But I thought of a
better way to eliminate the duplicate code without defining a helper
function; see the new prequel patch.

Done.

Thanks for the review,

[PATCH v5 1/2] git-prompt.sh: if pc mode, immediately set PS1 to a plain prompt

[Richard Hansen]

At the beginning of __git_ps1, right after determining that the
function is running in pc mode, set PS1 to a plain (undecorated)
prompt.  This makes it possible to simply return early without having
to set PS1 if the prompt should not be decorated.

[PATCH v5 2/2] git-prompt.sh: Option to hide prompt for ignored pwd

[Richard Hansen]

From: Jess Austin <jess.austin@gmail.com>

Optionally set __git_ps1 to display nothing when present working
directory is ignored, triggered by the new environmental variable
GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED. This environmental variable may be
overridden on any repository by setting bash.hideIfPwdIgnored to
"false". In the absence of GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED this change
has no effect.

Many people manage e.g. dotfiles in their home directory with git.
This causes the prompt generated by __git_ps1 to refer to that "top
level" repo while working in any descendant directory. That can be
distracting, so this patch helps one shut off that noise.
