It says "to customize", so a user who just wants the default (which does not exist but the comment does not say so) would be left without instruction, no? In $HOME/.bashrc, PROMPT_COMMAND can be set to '__git_ps1 <pre> <post>', where <pre> and <post> are strings you would put in $PS1 before and after the status string generated by git-prompt machinery. e.g. PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\u@\h:\w" "\\\$ "' or something? -- 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
