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).

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	Default	Description
fetch_status	boolean	false	fetch the local changes
ignore_status	[]string		do not fetch status for these repo's. Uses the repo's root folder and same logic as the exclude_folders property
fetch_upstream_icon	boolean	false	fetch upstream icon
fetch_bare_info	boolean	false	fetch bare repo info
untracked_modes	map[string]string		map of repo's where to override the default untracked files mode: no normal all 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 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	false	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
fetch_user	User	false	fetch the current configured user for the repository
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 section for available overrides.
source	string	cli	cli: fetch the information using the git CLI pwsh: fetch the information from the posh-git PowerShell Module
mapped_branches	object		custom glyph/text for specific branches. You can use * at the end as a wildcard character for matching
full_branch_path	bool	true	display the full branch path instead of only the last part (e.g. feature/branch instead of branch)

Icons

Branch

Name	Type	Default	Description
branch_icon	string	\uE0A0	the icon to use in front of the git branch name
branch_identical_icon	string	\u2261	the icon to display when remote and local are identical
branch_ahead_icon	string	\u2191	the icon to display when the local branch is ahead of its remote
branch_behind_icon	string	\u2193	the icon to display when the local branch is behind its remote
branch_gone_icon	string	\u2262	the icon to display when there's no remote branch
branch_max_length	int	0	the max length for the displayed branch name where 0 implies full length
truncate_symbol	string		the icon to display when a branch name is truncated

HEAD

posh-git

If you want to display the default posh-git output, do not use this segment but add the following snippet after initializing Oh My Posh in your $PROFILE:

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:

json

{
  "template": "{{ if .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ end }}"
}

yaml

template: "{{ if .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ end }}"

toml

template = "{{ if .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ .Env.POSH_GIT_STRING }} {{ end }}"
