Comments on: Fixing Git Bash Completion http://archlinux.me/dusty/2010/01/13/fixing-git-bash-completion/ A little more of everything, please Sat, 28 Jan 2012 01:59:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Daenyth http://archlinux.me/dusty/2010/01/13/fixing-git-bash-completion/#comment-160 Daenyth Wed, 27 Jan 2010 15:17:47 +0000 http://archlinux.me/dusty/?p=249#comment-160 You may also be interested in git-sh, which I have in AUR as git-sh-git. It provides a custom prompt with aliases and some other git-based goodies. I find that it makes working with git even more comfortable.

Instead I have this function in my .bashrc: git_branch() { branch=$(git branch 2> /dev/null | grep "^*" | tr -d "* ") [ -n "$branch" ] && printf "(%s)" $branch } Looking at the __git_ps1 function, it seems to give a lot more information... perhaps I will look into that I used to find that bash completion broke to many things so I do not have it enabled anymore.

Looking at the __git_ps1 function, it seems to give a lot more information… perhaps I will look into that

Which with your simple prompt isn't an issue, and was probably causing the $() to be expanded earlier than you wanted, meaning the __git_ps1 function wasn't even being run. Anyways, go team git.
