Spaces before git plugin's branch name about geometry HOT 13 CLOSED

Please go ahead. Don't be afraid to ask any question. We'll given you feedback as soon as we can.

I'd be happy to give this a shot. (I'm new)

Sounds good. Couple of questions: How should I begin? Fork and get a local version up and running? Is there a troubleshooting/development mode?

from geometry.

@vincecampanale Currently we don't have a debug/verbose/development mode. It would be a nice addition I think 👍 So we'll keep that in mind.

There is some documentation about how we manage plugins and prompts that may help you with this.

For a start do fork and clone your fork locally:

git clone [email protected]:vincecampanale/geometry.git

Do create a bugfix branch to work on (a common practice):

git branch -b bugfix-git-prompt-spaces

When developing what I do is configure geometry theme simply by sourcing it this way:

~/.zshrc:

source /path/to/geometry.zsh

Then hack, open a new terminal/tab/panel, check and repeat.

Finally, when you see your changes working, do push your changes to github and make a PR:

git push -u origin bugfix-git-prompt-spaces

You should see a "Make Pull Request" button (or similar wording) on the Github web interface.

We'll review the changes, test them on various configurations (pretty much like you would) and provide as much feedback as you'd need.

Okay, forked and cloned. Currently familiarizing myself with the code. What exactly is zsh? From my Googling I've found that it's kind of a Terminal application that does more than just standard Terminal. How do I enable zsh in my terminal and set it to 'geometry' mode. I added a line source ~/directories/to/geometry.zsh to ~/.zshrc but Terminal hasn't changed. I'd like to get used to using the application in order to contribute more. Also, what language is this written in? "ZSH" language?

@vincecampanale Take a look here. It'll give you a general understanding of what is and what it can do, how to set it up and configure.

Here is the minimal working .zshrc.

Depending on your OS you have various options to install zsh:

Debian/Ubuntu: apt-get install zsh

Fedora/Cent OS: dnf install zsh

Mac OS: brew install zsh

You can permanently switch to zsh with:

chsh -s `which zsh`

You don't need to but if you spend some time in the terminal you may find it a good option to check.

Let me know if you can get it working.

Thanks, it's working!
Now, how can I get exec_time to show? What kind of action prompts the display pictured in the issue above?

from geometry.

The built-in exec_time plugin is enabled by default. So you don't need to configure anything.

What it does is that if a command's execution duration is above certain threshold it's displayed as shown in the screenshot.
The default threshold is 5 (seconds). So issuing this simple command wound render exec_time:

sleep 5

Hope that helps.

@vincecampanale Correction. There is still a configuration variable you'll need to set up:

PROMPT_GEOMETRY_EXEC_TIME=true

Put that line before sourcing geometry.

I thought this was removed in this issue.

from geometry.

@vincecampanale Are you stuck or need any other kind of feedback? Let us know.

from geometry.

Yea, I'm having difficulty with troubleshooting. I'm also getting this error

The relevant lines of code:

Any thoughts on a good place to start? I guess I'm just getting used to the new programming language and application type. I've never worked with zsh or any kind of terminal/shell application before.

from geometry.

A first look nothing seems out of place. You may create a gist with the relevant file so it's easier to look at.

Closing this as per #71. Thank you @vincecampanale
