Basically whenever I navigate to a folder that contains a .git folder in Terminal (os x leopard), it prints a load of usage text. it's driving me mad, I've uninstalled - re-installed etc etc and no joy. I have set up git on other machines without any issue so I'm baffled. Output image attached. Help appreciated. http://www.nabble.com/file/p24495974/terminal_low.jpg Cheers. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Git-Terminal-issue-tp24495974p24495974.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ``` ## Michael J Gruber, 2009-07-15 11:51 Subject: Re: Git/Terminal issue Message-ID: <4A5DC2A5.2010504@drmicha.warpmail.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4A5DC2A5.2010504%40drmicha.warpmail.net In-Reply-To: <24495974.post@talk.nabble.com> ``` GleMarS venit, vidit, dixit 15.07.2009 13:27: > > Hi, > > I'm getting rage.

Something calls "git branch" with incorrect parameters, and it may be the call which recalculates the bits for PS1.

I also removed any aliases. If that's what it sounds like I'll have another dig around. Steven Noonan wrote: > On Wed, 15 Jul 2009, GleMarS wrote: > > >> Hi, >> >> I'm getting rage.

If you just want to get rid of the prompt set it to something trivial (i.e. "PS1=\w$ ") ```
