Project Prompt

Simple bash wrapper for working on and switching between projects.

Setup

Clone the repo and add the following to your .bashrc:

export PROJECTS=~/projects
source $PROJECTS/project_prompt/project_prompt.sh

If you'd like to organize your projects more you can add an array of subprojects:

export SUBPROJECTS=( sub1 sub2 )

Usage

To see all available projects use the alias workon:

~ $ workon
projects:
project_prompt

projects/sub1:
project1 project2

projects/sub2:
project3

To enter a project:

~ $ workon project_prompt 
(master|project_prompt) $ pwd
/Users/pdebardelaben/projects/project_prompt
(master|project_prompt) $ 

When using git and hg, uncommited changes are indicated by an asterisk. If the project uses git, the current branch is also shown in the prompt:

(master|project_prompt) $ touch file
(master*|project_prompt) $ 

When not using git or hg, a square prompt is used:

[sub1/project1] $ 

When you change directories within a project the prompt contains the relative path:

[sub1/example1] $ cd path/in/your/project
[sub1/example1]/path/in/your/project $ 

Returning to the root of your project is as simple as cd:

[sub1/example1]/path/in/your/project $ cd
[sub1/example1] $ 

To return home and restore your original prompt type cdd:

[sub1/project1] $ cdd
~ $
