Request to add screenshots of various themes to this repo.

It's very difficult to understand what the themes that come with this looks like! Wonder if it's possible to add some screenshots to this repository to preview the themes.

Good idea, maybe we could add a wiki page here. Feel free to contribute ;)

Well... in a Readme.md inside the main-repo it seems to be easier. Maybe it's okay how it looks now.

@magicmonty I am having a little difficultly in changing the themes. I have a .git-prompt.colors.shin my home directory which has the following contents:

override_git_prompt_colors() {
  GIT_PROMPT_THEME_NAME="Custom"

  PathShort="\W🔥⚡️ " #Display only the current folder

  # Display the current folder first
  GIT_PROMPT_START_USER="${Green}${PathShort}"
  GIT_PROMPT_START_ROOT="${Green}${PathShort}"

  # Skip the default prefix
  GIT_PROMPT_PREFIX="${ResetColor}"

  # Use whitespace as separator
  GIT_PROMPT_SEPARATOR=" "

  # Skip remote branch
  GIT_PROMPT_REMOTE="${ResetColor}"
  GIT_PROMPT_UPSTREAM="${ResetColor}"

  # Use yellow for the current branch
  GIT_PROMPT_BRANCH="${Yellow}"

  # Use red and green for behind and ahead origin
  GIT_PROMPT_SYMBOLS_BEHIND="${Red} ↓"
  GIT_PROMPT_SYMBOLS_AHEAD="${Green} ↑"

  # Add a few emojis to make it fun!
  GIT_PROMPT_STAGED="👍"
  GIT_PROMPT_CONFLICTS="❌"
  GIT_PROMPT_CHANGED="✏️ "
  GIT_PROMPT_UNTRACKED="❔"
  GIT_PROMPT_STASHED="📦" # A lot nicer than the default flag
  GIT_PROMPT_CLEAN="✅"
  GIT_PROMPT_SYMBOLS_NO_REMOTE_TRACKING="🔒" # Displayed for untracked brances

  # Skip the default suffix
  GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX=" "

  # Skip the default ending
  GIT_PROMPT_END_USER="${ResetColor}"
  GIT_PROMPT_END_ROOT="${ResetColor}"
}

reload_git_prompt_colors "Custom"

When I change the values from reload_git_prompt_colors and GIT_PROMPT_THEME_NAME to any other theme, no change happens.

If I remove the git-prompt-colors.sh script from my home directory and set the reload_git_prompt_colors and GIT_PROMPT_THEME_NAME variables in .bash_profile to another theme, the prompt just doesn't appear on my bash shell.

Can you help me out changing the theme? I can then take screenshots of all the themes and create a PR!

[magicmonty]

@neo1691 If you want toadd a dedicated (non "Custom") theme, then you have to write the given contetn into a .bgptheme file with the same name as in GIT_PROMPT_THEME_NAME and place it in the themes directory of the installation directory.

Then you can use it under the given name.

Thanks @magicmonty. How do I use the existing themes? No matter what I do changes the theme.

You need to change the GIT_PROMPT_THEME (withouth the _NAME at the end) for your personal theme to be taken into account in the .git-prompt-color.sh file
