--- id: git title: Git sidebar_label: Git --- ## What Display git information when in a git repository. Also works for subfolders. For maximum compatibility, make sure your `git` executable is up-to-date (when branch or status information is incorrect for example). :::tip PowerShell offers support for the [posh-git][poshgit] module for autocompletion, but it is disabled by default. To enable this, set `$env:POSH_GIT_ENABLED = $true` in your `$PROFILE` after initializing Oh My Posh. This will also make use of the [posh-git][poshgit] output rather than do additional work to get the git status. If you want to display the default [posh-git][poshgit] output, **do not** set the above environment variable and add the following snippet after initializing Oh My Posh in your `$PROFILE`: ```powershell function Set-PoshGitStatus { $global:GitStatus = Get-GitStatus $env:POSH_GIT_STRING = Write-GitStatus -Status $global:GitStatus } New-Alias -Name 'Set-PoshContext' -Value 'Set-PoshGitStatus' -Scope Global -Force ``` You can then use the `POSH_GIT_STRING` environment variable in a [text segment][text]: ```json "template": "{{ if .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ end }}" ``` ::: ## Sample Configuration import Config from "@site/src/components/Config.js"; ## Properties ### Fetching information As doing multiple git calls can slow down the prompt experience, we do not fetch information by default. You can set the following properties to `true` to enable fetching additional information (and populate the template). | Name | Type | Description | | --------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `fetch_status` | `boolean` | fetch the local changes - defaults to `false` | | `ignore_status` | `[]string` | do not fetch status for these repo's. Uses the repo's root folder and same logic as the [exclude_folders][exclude_folders] property | | `fetch_upstream_icon` | `boolean` | fetch upstream icon - defaults to `false` | | `fetch_bare_info` | `boolean` | fetch bare repo info - defaults to `false` | | `untracked_modes` | `map[string]string` | map of repo's where to override the default [untracked files mode][untracked]:For example `"untracked_modes": { "/Users/me/repos/repo1": "no" }` - defaults to `normal` for all repo's. If you want to override for all repo's, use `*` to set the mode instead of the repo path | | `ignore_submodules` | `map[string]string` | map of repo's where to change the [--ignore-submodules][submodules] flag (`none`, `untracked`, `dirty` or `all`). For example `"ignore_submodules": { "/Users/me/repos/repo1": "all" }`. If you want to override for all repo's, use `*` to set the mode instead of the repo path | | `native_fallback` | `boolean` | when set to `true` and `git.exe` is not available when inside a WSL2 shared Windows drive, we will fallback to the native git executable to fetch data. Not all information can be displayed in this case. Defaults to `false` | | `fetch_user` | [`User`](#user) | fetch the current configured user for the repository - defaults to `false` | | `status_formats` | `map[string]string` | a key, value map allowing to override how individual status items are displayed. For example, `"status_formats": { "Added": "Added: %d" }` will display the added count as `Added: 1` instead of `+1`. See the [Status](#status) section for available overrides. Defaults to an empty map. | ### Icons #### Branch | Name | Type | Description | | ----------------------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `branch_icon` | `string` | the icon to use in front of the git branch name - defaults to `\uE0A0 ` | | `branch_identical_icon` | `string` | the icon to display when remote and local are identical - defaults to `\u2261` | | `branch_ahead_icon` | `string` | the icon to display when the local branch is ahead of its remote - defaults to `\u2191` | | `branch_behind_icon` | `string` | the icon to display when the local branch is behind its remote - defaults to `\u2193` | | `branch_gone_icon` | `string` | the icon to display when there's no remote branch - defaults to `\u2262` | | `branch_max_length` | `int` | the max length for the displayed branch name where `0` implies full length - defaults to `0` | | `truncate_symbol` | `string` | the icon to display when a branch name is truncated - defaults to empty | #### HEAD | Name | Type | Description | | ------------------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `commit_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display before the commit context (detached HEAD) - defaults to `\uF417` | | `tag_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display before the tag context - defaults to `\uF412` | | `rebase_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display before the context when in a rebase - defaults to `\uE728 ` | | `cherry_pick_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display before the context when doing a cherry-pick - defaults to `\uE29B ` | | `revert_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display before the context when doing a revert - defaults to `\uF0E2 ` | | `merge_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display before the merge context - defaults to `\uE727 ` | | `no_commits_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when there are no commits in the repo - defaults to `\uF594 ` | #### Upstream | Name | Type | Description | | ------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `github_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when the upstream is Github - defaults to `\uF408 ` | | `gitlab_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when the upstream is Gitlab - defaults to `\uF296 ` | | `bitbucket_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when the upstream is Bitbucket - defaults to `\uF171 ` | | `azure_devops_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when the upstream is Azure DevOps - defaults to `\uEBE8 ` | | `codecommit_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when the upstream is AWS CodeCommit - defaults to `\uF270 ` | | `git_icon` | `string` | icon/text to display when the upstream is not known/mapped - defaults to `\uE5FB ` | | `upstream_icons` | `map[string]string` | a key, value map representing the remote URL (or a part of that URL) and icon to use in case the upstream URL contains the key. These get precedence over the standard icons | ## Template ([info][templates]) :::note default template ```template {{ .HEAD }}{{if .BranchStatus }} {{ .BranchStatus }}{{ end }}{{ if .Working.Changed }} \uF044 {{ .Working.String }}{{ end }}{{ if and (.Staging.Changed) (.Working.Changed) }} |{{ end }}{{ if .Staging.Changed }} \uF046 {{ .Staging.String }}{{ end }} ``` ::: ### Properties | Name | Type | Description | | ---------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `.RepoName` | `string` | the repo folder name | | `.Working` | `Status` | changes in the worktree (see below) | | `.Staging` | `Status` | staged changes in the work tree (see below) | | `.HEAD` | `string` | the current HEAD context (branch/rebase/merge/...) | | `.Ref` | `string` | the current HEAD reference (branch/tag/...) | | `.Behind` | `int` | commits behind of upstream | | `.Ahead` | `int` | commits ahead of upstream | | `.BranchStatus` | `string` | the current branch context (ahead/behind string representation) | | `.Upstream` | `string` | the upstream name (remote) | | `.UpstreamGone` | `boolean` | whether the upstream is gone (no remote) | | `.UpstreamIcon` | `string` | the upstream icon (based on the icons above) | | `.UpstreamURL` | `string` | the upstream URL for use in [hyperlinks][hyperlinks] in templates: `{{ url .UpstreamIcon .UpstreamURL }}` | | `.StashCount` | `int` | the stash count | | `.WorktreeCount` | `int` | the worktree count | | `.IsWorkTree` | `boolean` | if in a worktree repo or not | | `.IsBare` | `boolean` | if in a bare repo or not, only set when `fetch_bare_info` is set to `true` | | `.Dir` | `string` | the repository's root directory | | `.Kraken` | `string` | a link to the current HEAD in [GitKraken][kraken-ref] for use in [hyperlinks][hyperlinks] in templates `{{ url .HEAD .Kraken }}` | | `.Commit` | `Commit` | HEAD commit information (see below) | | `.Detached` | `boolean` | true when the head is detached | | `.Merge` | `boolean` | true when in a merge | | `.Rebase` | `boolean` | true when in a rebase | | `.CherryPick` | `boolean` | true when in a cherry pick | | `.Revert` | `boolean` | true when in a revert | ### Status | Name | Type | Description | | ------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------- | | `.Unmerged` | `int` | number of unmerged changes | | `.Deleted` | `int` | number of deleted changes | | `.Added` | `int` | number of added changes | | `.Modified` | `int` | number of modified changes | | `.Untracked` | `int` | number of untracked changes | | `.Changed` | `boolean` | if the status contains changes or not | | `.String` | `string` | a string representation of the changes above | Local changes use the following syntax: | Icon | Description | | ---- | ----------- | | `x` | Unmerged | | `-` | Deleted | | `+` | Added | | `~` | Modified | | `?` | Untracked | ### Commit | Name | Type | Description | | ------------ | ----------- | -------------------------------------- | | `.Author` | `User` | the author of the commit (see below) | | `.Committer` | `User` | the comitter of the commit (see below) | | `.Subject` | `string` | the commit subject | | `.Timestamp` | `time.Time` | the commit timestamp | | `.Sha` | `string` | the commit SHA1 | ### User | Name | Type | Description | | -------- | -------- | ---------------- | | `.Name` | `string` | the user's name | | `.Email` | `string` | the user's email | [poshgit]: https://github.com/dahlbyk/posh-git [templates]: /docs/configuration/templates [hyperlinks]: /docs/configuration/templates#custom [untracked]: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-status#Documentation/git-status.txt---untracked-filesltmodegt [submodules]: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-status#Documentation/git-status.txt---ignore-submodulesltwhengt [kraken-ref]: https://www.gitkraken.com/invite/nQmDPR9D [text]: text.mdx [exclude_folders]: /docs/configuration/segment#include--exclude-folders
