Git auto status

If you found yourself constantly typing git status after bunch of commands like
git commit and you want to avoid that, than this plugin is for you.

This plugin is a nice addition to git_prompt_status.

Installation

You should read next wiki.

So you should put this file into ~/zsh_custom/plugins/git-auto-status and
modify plugins variable of your .zshrc so it contains
git_auto_status.

Note: It was necessary for me to put ZSH_CUSTOM=$HOME/zsh_custom at the
top of my .zshrc.

Tuning

The default list of command that git status is automatically running after is
next:

gitPreAutoStatusCommands=(
    'add'
    'rm'
    'reset'
    'commit'
    'checkout'
    'mv'
    'init'
)

You can adjust this list by setting this var in your .zshrc after
plugins=(...) initialization.

About git_prompt_status

There is not much information about what it is, but you will probably
understand it from next pr.

For example, I have next line for standard robbyrussel theme in my .zshrc:

PROMPT='${ret_status}%{$fg_bold[green]%}%p %{$fg[cyan]%}%c %{$fg_bold[blue]%}$(git_prompt_info)$(git_prompt_status)$(hg_prompt_info)%{$fg_bold[blue]%} % %{$reset_color%}'

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX="%{$reset_color%}%{$fg_bold[blue]%}) "
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_DIRTY=""
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CLEAN=""

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_UNTRACKED="%%"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_MODIFIED="*"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_ADDED="+"

being lazy : I like it 👍

I loved it! This plugin is very fit my habbit.

@oshybystyi
I added this file to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/git-auto-status/git-auto-status.plugin.zsh. Made it executable using chmod +x git-auto-status.plugin.zsh. And finally restarted my terminal but I don't see the plugin in action. Have I missed some step here?

@oshybystyi @usmanajmal me too

...and modify plugins variable of your .zshrc so it contains git_auto_status

Really handy plugin! Thanks! :)

For me it was necessary to update plugins variable of my .zshrc so it contains git-auto-status (with hyphen). I tried first with git_auto_status (with underscore) as it is said in the description, but it didn't work. Don't know why, but I guess the name of the plugin directory and the name on .zshrc must be the same.

Hi,
I have a problem with it. When I am in repo it works like a charm :) but when I am not every action in terminal returns:

VCS_INFO_git_getbranch:44: no such file or directory: /HEAD
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git 

Someone now how to fix it?

Just in case someone is looking for this in bash:

gitPreAutoStatusCommands=(
  'add'
  'rm'
  'mv'
  'checkout'
  'rebase'
)

function git() {
  command git "${@}"

  if [[ " ${gitPreAutoStatusCommands[@]} " =~ " ${1} " ]]; then
    echo  # empty line
    command git status
  fi  
}

Automatically clone it in the correct ohmyzsh dir:

git clone https://gist.github.com/475ee7768efc03727f21.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/git-auto-status

Did not work in my macOS terminal!

@oshybystyi Please update the description where it says

So you should put this file into ~/zsh_custom/plugins/git-auto-status and
modify plugins variable of your .zshrc so it contains
git_auto_status.

with "git-auto-status" instead of "git_auto_status"
