Talk:Git
Merge with Gitweb
As said, the sections to get git working over ssh, http and the git protocol should in my opinion be placed in this article.

Bash completion
Unless I'm mistaken, bash completion comes with git now so the instructions should be changed to simply:
source /usr/share/git/completion/git-completion.bash
right?
Maybe note that it's also possible by installing bash-completion?

- The default
/etc/bash.bashrc
(from the bash package) sources/etc/bash_completion
(optionally from the bash-completion package) if it exists. Thebash_completion
script intern sources files in/etc/bash_completion.d/
if they exist. With Arch's git package a copy of/usr/share/git/completion/git-completion.bash
ends up in the/etc/bash_completion.d/
directory. So, if you have the bash-completion package installed, completion for git should work automatically as soon as/etc/bash.bashrc
is processed. - -- James Eder 13:27, 20 June 2011 (EDT)
- AFAIK, bash-completion does not put anything into
/etc/bash_completion.d/
, so the current instruction is misleading. The thread __git_ps1 isn't found anymore seems to be the only accurate guide available, at the moment. - -- Mloskot (talk) 19:52, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Smart HTTP
Trying to follow the instructions to set up HTTP access, I ran into following issue:
error: Cannot access URL http://<server>/git/example/, return code 22 fatal: git-http-push failed
Acccording to http://dev.bazingaweb.fr/2011/02/23/how-to-set-up-git-over-http.html the config file on the remote repository needs to get a couple new lines:
[http] receivepack = true
After this little change it all works for me.

Git prompt
I've tried the method explained here to add git status and features to a zsh prompt, but to no avail.
The method explained here to add git status and features to a zsh prompt did not work in my case.
A stackoverflow answer [1] worked well for me. Here is what I added to my .zshrc:
setopt prompt_subst autoload -Uz vcs_info zstyle ':vcs_info:*' actionformats \ '%F{5}(%f%s%F{5})%F{3}-%F{5}[%F{2}%b%F{3}|%F{1}%a%F{5}]%f ' zstyle ':vcs_info:*' formats \ '%F{5}(%f%s%F{5})%F{3}-%F{5}[%F{2}%b%F{5}]%f ' zstyle ':vcs_info:(sv[nk]|bzr):*' branchformat '%b%F{1}:%F{3}%r' zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable git cvs svn vcs_info_wrapper() { vcs_info if [ -n "$vcs_info_msg_0_" ]; then echo "%{$fg[grey]%}${vcs_info_msg_0_}%{$reset_color%}$del" fi } RPROMPT=$'$(vcs_info_wrapper)'
Has anyone else had a similar issue? If so, I'll update the page to match this fix.
