A zsh plugin that exposes functions for retrieving informations about the status of the current git repository.
After the zsh-git-status.zsg file is sourced a number of utilities functions
for getting informations about the git directories are avaible to the client
code.
A use case for this plugin is the displaying of the repository git status in the terminal prompt.
The API function get_git_status returns a formatted
string which can be readily embedded inside a console prompt. For example:
PROMPT='$(get_git_status)'
One could either custumise the output of get_git_status by editing the global
variables defined in the zsh-git-status-globals.zsh, or use the API functions
to build their own prompt string.
The default formatted string shows the git info in the following format: "[git branch|number of untracked|number of modified|number of conflicts|number of ahead commits]"
