Why the fork?

This fork addresses the fact that the original repo doesn't work for zsh. From macOS 10.15 Catalina the default shell is zsh, and this fork adds configuration to get that lovely Git Bash feeling in the zsh shell.

Git Bash for Mac

Did you (finally) migrate from Windows to Mac and the only thing you miss is the lovely Git Bash? You have no idea what the Git Bash is (or Windows for that matters) and yet you really want to improve your Git experience on Mac?

Here it comes the Git Bash for Mac: a nice Terminal customisation that always shows you the branch you are on, powered by a tab-based autocompletion for all of Git’s subcommands, command-line parameters, and remotes and ref names.

git-bash-for-mac

Install

Follow these steps:

  1. from the Terminal, run
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ondkloss/git-bash-for-mac/master/install.sh)"
  1. open Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles and select the Pro theme;
  2. restart the Terminal and enjoy!

It is recommended that you run Git 2.18+ for a full auto completion support

Uninstall

Follow these steps:

  1. from the Terminal, run
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ondkloss/git-bash-for-mac/master/uninstall.sh)"
  1. open Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles and select the theme you used to have;
  2. restart the Terminal and (un)enjoy!

Customize

You don't like the colors of your new prompt? Open ~/.git-bash-for-mac.sh and start messing up with it!

In addition, by simply exporting a couple of variables in ~/.git-bash-for-mac.sh you can make you prompt even more informative:

  • if you set export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1, unstaged (*) and staged (+) changes will be shown next to the branch name;
  • if you set export GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE=1 and something is stashed then a '$' will be shown next to the branch name;
  • if you set export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=1 and there are untracked files then a '%' will be shown next to the branch name.

More info and options can be found here.
