git status "short circuit"?

Jordi Bunster· Feb 13, 2009, 17:34 UTC · lore

I have a prompt snippet that shows me if there's something staged/ changed/untracked (as different characters).

It parses the output of git status. Since I don't really need to know *all* that is staged/dirty/untracked, I was wondering if there's something faster I could use. Something that stops at the first occurrence of each category, perhaps.

Any ideas?

P.S.: I'm not subscribed, please Cc.

Latest version of the bash completion package has a dirty prompt setting you can enable. Grab it out of the git repository and try it out.
