Doesn't work on Mac

[wdane]

I'm using a bash shell on mac (GNU bash, version 3.2.51(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin13)), and when I try to source the .sh I get "Sorry, only bash and zsh are supported."

Should this be OS agnostic?

Hmm, that's really interesting; I think I originally developed this on a mac. What is the output when you echo $SHELL?

Ah, now I remember. I got halfway through implementing the zsh stuff and stopped, so that might be what is broken about it. Sorry about that. In the meantime, you can try the stuff from a commit backwards: https://github.com/swirepe/alwaysontop/blob/3ec77efc4204d8be51e3fd5a01d56e44826401b8/alwaysontop.sh

Interesting... I tried using that commit, but get the following error (and it doesn't move things on top) on any command I run after sourcing it.

-bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 38: syntax error near unexpected token ;' -bash: PROMPT_COMMAND: line 38:find_git_branch; find_git_dirty; update_terminal_cwd; ; tput cup 0 0 ; tput el ; tput el1'

I couldn't find any of the commands preceding tput cup 0 0 and I tried removing the semicolon before tput but that didn't seem to do the trick. I'd like to look into it more, but I'm pretty unfamiliar with bash scripting.

That's weird. Can you show me what echo $PROMPT_COMMAND says? It looks like yours ends with a semicolon, so you had the right idea removing it from that tput line. I'm still confused about why that doesn't work.

[wdane]

The echo is find_git_branch; find_git_dirty; update_terminal_cwd; ; tput cup 0 0 ; tput el ; tput el1

and if I remove the semi colon in the code to make it
PROMPT_COMMAND="$PROMPT_COMMAND tput cup 0 0 ; tput el ; tput el1"

echo prints the same thing. (I made sure to resource it).
