How to make prompt with git branch in bash gentoo

1. emerge app-shells/bash-completion
2. $ find /usr -name git-prompt.sh.bz2

/usr/share/doc/git-1.8.5.5/git-prompt.sh.bz2 3. cp /usr/share/doc/git-1.8.5.5/git-prompt.sh.bz2 ~ 4. bunzip2 git-prompt.sh.bz2 5. mv git-prompt.sh .git-prompt.sh 6. Paste into ~/.bashrc

    # Bash completion
    if [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
      . /etc/bash_completion
    fi
    
    export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\] \w\[\033[01;33m\]$(__git_ps1)\[\033[01;34m\] \$\[\033[00m\] '
    export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1

    source ~/.git-prompt.sh

Use GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE for enabling/disabling unmerged code in repository checking.

In the current version of gentoo, the git-prompt shell script has moved and is already uncompressed. Replace the last line with:

source /usr/share/git/git-prompt.sh

It works fine but i'll end up with empty titles in my terminal. Even worse it will keep titles of other bash instances if i do ssh into another machine. Is there any way to fix this?

@r7l What do you mean exactly? I don't have this problem. This shouldn't affect your title at all as far as I know

I am using XFCE-Terminal and any newly opened terminal will just show Untitled since i've copied in the code from above and sourced that git-prompt.sh. Maybe it is related to XFCE-Terminal then.

@r7l Hmm strange. I use XFCE terminal too, and I don't have that issue.

I dont know which version you use, but did you use the decompressed one or the one I mentioned in the new location? I wonder if there is a difference there. I always run bleeding edge stuff, which is why i choose gentoo in the first place. I don't mind things being considered unstable.

@r7l have you checked the settings that it actually shows the title? That's a setting in xfce-terminal

It is set to Dynamically set title and i've tried all the options. It is (and was) working without the above .bashrc lines. It also works perfectly once i ssh into any other machine not having this .bashrc entries

It even works when switching to root user as i don't have those entries there. So it has to be within git-prompt.sh file or the 2 export lines

Impossible to show numbers, like (master|✖2✚3)?

I don't know; you'd have to check which variables are available within this script
