Hello, It seems to me that the colors used to indicate the repo's state in the prompt are hardcoded although the top comment says otherwise. >From contrib/completion/git-contrib.sh: [83]# If you would like a colored hint about the current dirty state, set # GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS to a nonempty value. The colors are based on # the colored output of "git status -sb" and are available only when # using __git_ps1 for PROMPT_COMMAND or precmd. [228]__git_ps1_colorize_gitstring () { if [[ -n ${ZSH_VERSION-} ]]; then local c_red='%F{red}' local c_green='%F{green}' local c_lblue='%F{blue}' local c_clear='%f' else # Using \[ and \] around colors is necessary to prevent # issues with command line editing/browsing/completion! local c_red='\[\e[31m\]' local c_green='\[\e[32m\]' local c_lblue='\[\e[1;34m\]' local c_clear='\[\e[0m\]' fi local bad_color=$c_red local ok_color=$c_green local flags_color="$c_lblue" local branch_color="" As expected upon seeing this snippet, the color.status.<slot> entries in the git config file do modify the git status -sb output but don't modify the colors used in the prompt.
