But I think the next line is wrong. > + f=${f:+ $f} The $r string is designed to be used as suffix from the beginning and always has "|" in front of it as a delimiter, so if there is no w/i/s/u (and I suspect many people do not use GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE and friends, and these are _always_ empty for them) the above will begin with "|". There is no need to steal one column from a typeable width from the command line in such a case. > if [ -n "${1-}" ]; then > - printf "$1" "$c${b##refs/heads/}$w$i$s$u$r" > + printf "$1" "$c${b##refs/heads/}$f" > else > - printf " (%s)" "$c${b##refs/heads/}$w$i$s$u$r" > + printf " (%s)" "$c${b##refs/heads/}$f" > fi > fi > } To implement your stated goal (dirty/stash/untracked), you probably want to do this instead... local f="$w$i$s$u" f="${f:+ $f}$r" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
