fish_vcs_prompt - output vcs information for use in a prompt

Description

The fish_vcs_prompt function can be used to display information about the current vcs repository, if any.

It calls out to vcs-specific functions. The currently supported ones are:

  • fish_git_prompt
  • fish_hg_prompt

If a vcs isn’t installed, the respective function does nothing.

function fish_prompt
    ...
    set -g __fish_git_prompt_showupstream auto
    printf '%s %s$' $PWD (fish_vcs_prompt)
end
