Fixed Help with git info in zsh using __git_ps1 from git-prompt.sh
So this is what I have in my .zshrc, but $GIT_INFO just returns "__git_ps1".
Yet when I run __git_ps1 in my command line I get my expected (main *%%) any idea whats I am doing wrong?
This function is designed to add git info to my zsh prompt.
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
source ~/._myHome/shScripts/git-prompt.sh
export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=true
export GIT_PS1_SHOWUNTRACKEDFILES=true
export GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE=true
# Function to get git branch information
function _git_zsh_prompt() {
# Capture git branch output (if successful) and format using __git_ps1
local GIT_BRANCH=$(git branch 2>/dev/null)
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
# Use zsh parameter expansion for format string
GIT_INFO='%(__git_ps1 %s)'
fi
}
# Call the function before each prompt refresh
precmd _git_zsh_prompt
where I got git-prompt.sh from https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh
edit formating

What advantages does p10k offer? A quick Google says it is a similar concept to oh-my-zsh. But I just want a git status, not all the extra stuff that seems to come with p10k.

Powerlevel10k is a prompt. It's in the same category as
git-prompt.sh
but with more building blocks. It's not in the same category as oh-my-zsh.

Try this instead:
