    # This script allows you to see repository status in your prompt.
    #
    # To enable:
    #
    #    1) Copy this file to somewhere (e.g. ~/.git-prompt.sh).
    #    2) Add the following line to your .bashrc/.zshrc:
    #        source ~/.git-prompt.sh
    #    3a) Change your PS1 to call __git_ps1 as
    #        command-substitution:
    #        Bash: PS1='[\u@\h \W$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
    #        ZSH:  setopt PROMPT_SUBST ; PS1='[%n@%m %c$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")]\$ '
    #        the optional argument will be used as format string.
    #    3b) Alternatively, for a slightly faster prompt, __git_ps1 can
    #        be used for PROMPT_COMMAND in Bash or for precmd() in Zsh
    #        with two parameters, <pre> and <post>, which are strings
    #        you would put in $PS1 before and after the status string
    #        generated by the git-prompt machinery.  e.g.
    #        Bash: PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 "\u@\h:\w" "\\\$ "'
    #          will show username, at-sign, host, colon, cwd, then
    #          various status string, followed by dollar and SP, as
    #          your prompt.
    #        ZSH:  precmd () { __git_ps1 "%n" ":%~$ " "|%s" }
    #          will show username, pipe, then various status string,
    #          followed by colon, cwd, dollar and SP, as your prompt.
    #        Optionally, you can supply a third argument with a printf
    #        format string to finetune the output of the branch status
    #
    # The repository status will be displayed only if you are currently in a
    # git repository. The %s token is the placeholder for the shown status.
    #
    # The prompt status always includes the current branch name.
    #
    # In addition, if you set GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE to a nonempty value,
    # unstaged (*) and staged (+) changes will be shown next to the branch
    # name.  You can configure this per-repository with the
    # bash.showDirtyState variable, which defaults to true once
    # GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE is enabled.
    #
    # You can also see if currently something is stashed, by setting
    # GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE to a nonempty value. If something is stashed,
    # then a '$' will be shown next to the branch name.
    #
    # If you would like to see if there're untracked files, then you can set
    # GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES to a nonempty value. If there're untracked
    # files, then a '%' will be shown next to the branch name.  You can
    # configure this per-repository with the bash.showUntrackedFiles
    # variable, which defaults to true once GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES is
    # enabled.
    #
    # If you would like to see the difference between HEAD and its upstream,
    # set GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="auto".  A "<" indicates you are behind, ">"
    # indicates you are ahead, "<>" indicates you have diverged and "="
    # indicates that there is no difference. You can further control
    # behaviour by setting GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM to a space-separated list
    # of values:
    #
    #     verbose       show number of commits ahead/behind (+/-) upstream
    #     name          if verbose, then also show the upstream abbrev name
    #     legacy        don't use the '--count' option available in recent
    #                   versions of git-rev-list
    #     git           always compare HEAD to @{upstream}
    #     svn           always compare HEAD to your SVN upstream
    #
    # You can change the separator between the branch name and the above
    # state symbols by setting GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR. The default separator
    # is SP.
    #
    # By default, __git_ps1 will compare HEAD to your SVN upstream if it can
    # find one, or @{upstream} otherwise.  Once you have set
    # GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM, you can override it on a per-repository basis by
    # setting the bash.showUpstream config variable.
    #
    # If you would like to see more information about the identity of
    # commits checked out as a detached HEAD, set GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE_STYLE
    # to one of these values:
    #
    #     contains      relative to newer annotated tag (v1.6.3.2~35)
    #     branch        relative to newer tag or branch (master~4)
    #     describe      relative to older annotated tag (v1.6.3.1-13-gdd42c2f)
    #     tag           relative to any older tag (v1.6.3.1-13-gdd42c2f)
    #     default       exactly matching tag
    #
    # If you would like a colored hint about the current dirty state, set
    # GIT_PS1_SHOWCOLORHINTS to a nonempty value. The colors are based on
    # the colored output of "git status -sb" and are available only when
    # using __git_ps1 for PROMPT_COMMAND or precmd.
    #
    # If you would like __git_ps1 to do nothing in the case when the current
    # directory is set up to be ignored by git, then set
    # GIT_PS1_HIDE_IF_PWD_IGNORED to a nonempty value. Override this on the
    # repository level by setting bash.hideIfPwdIgnored to "false".
