Showing Git Status In Shell With Emotional Icon

When using the Git version control system, we create a lot of branches. There are already tons of shell profile script to show you which branch you are. I go a step further by showing the git status also. Moreover, I used emotional face icon to represent different states.

For example,
v-.-v is a clean repository.
\_/! means there are changes.
\_/||| means there are staged but not commit changes.

By using these cute emotions, I can quickly know the status of the repo with just a glimpse. The following screenshot shows my terminal with different git status.

The following code are the source of the profile bash. The code is also available on Github.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

function parse_git_dirty {     D="$(git status 2> /dev/null | tail -n1 | awk '{ print $1 }' )"     if [ "$D" = "nothing" ] ; then         echo -e "v-.-v : "     elif [ "$D" = "no" ]; then         echo -e "\_/! : "     elif [ "$D" = "#" ]; then         #echo -e "\_/||| \033[0;37m: "         echo -e "\_/||| : "     else         echo "-.-"     fi  }   function parse_git_branch {     git branch --no-color 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e "s/* \(.*\)/\1/" }   export PS1="\[\033[1;32m\]\t \[\033[1;35m\]\u@\h:\W \$(parse_git_dirty)\$(parse_git_branch)\$ \[\033[0m\]"

The output of any Git repo directory looks like the following.

1	15:20:51 makzan@Mr-Air-Mak:JailBreakers v-.-v : dev_zoom$

To install it in Mac, paste the code in the /.profile file and reopen the terminal to see the changes.
