Grep command unstable in the scripts

[vijaypolsani]

Scripts seems to be using a wrong grep command and every operation of command line syntax.

Hi, @vijaypolsani

Does it happen when you type some specific command?
Could you please share a screenshot of it?

Hello, @vijaypolsani.

I hope you're doing good.

Does that problem you mentioned still remains?

This happens because the grep command on MacOSX does not support -P (perl-regex) . I fixed it on mine by using a different method to get the information. For example, in settings-manager.sh:
# current_setting_value=$(grep -oP "(?<=$param_setting_name:).*" < "$FANCYGIT_CONFIG_FILE")
current_setting_value=$(git config --list | grep $param_setting_name: "$FANCYGIT_CONFIG_FILE"| cut -d ":" -f 2)

Here are all the offending lines:
.fancy-git/alias_functions/guser.sh:9:# guser=$(git config --list | grep -oP '(?<=user.name=).')
.fancy-git/alias_functions/guser.sh:10:# gemail=$(git config --list | grep -oP '(?<=user.email=).')
.fancy-git/alias_functions/gpsob.sh:8:branch_name=$(git branch | grep -oP '(?<=* ).')
.fancy-git/alias_functions/gplob.sh:13: branch_name=$(git branch | grep -oP '(?<=* ).')
.fancy-git/alias_functions/grba.sh:15:old_branch_name=$(git branch | grep -oP '(?<=* ).')
.fancy-git/alias_functions/gg.sh:10:#branch_name=$(git branch | grep -oP '(?<=* ).')
.fancy-git/modules/settings-manager.sh:41:# current_setting_value=$(grep -oP "(?<=$param_setting_name:).*" < "$FANCYGIT_CONFIG_FILE")

Same issue is present when I tried to install on MacOSX 😢

I am having the same issue on MacOSX and have decided to uninstall it. However it works well for me on my Linux laptop as well as raspberry pi

Hope there is a fix for Mac
