Type a long command in iterm (windowed mode) wraps on the same line.
Hi,
There is an issue that I am trying to solve from a long time. I have installed bash-git-prompt using brew, and have a .git-prompt-colors.sh in my home directory.
When I am using iterm in window mode (not fullscreen) and try to type a command long enough, it wraps on the same line. Here is a screenshot:
If I disable bash-git-prompt, the issue is gone.
Here are the contents of my git-prompt-colors.sh
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"
Here is another thread I found on the same topic: https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/issues/239
The solution that it mentions is as follows:
it is most likely because your prompt definition includes sequences that should not be counted in the length of the prompt, such as those for setting colors. These sequences should be between [ and ] to prevent their length from being counted. Here is an example that produces an all-red prompt:
PS1='[\033[31m]\u@\h:\w\$[\033[0m]'
However I am not sure where should I make this change in my setup of bash-git-prompt.
Let me know what is wrong. Any help is super appreciated.
Another potential problem is that your emoji are not single-width characters, meaning that the shell can't calculate the remaining space in the display properly.
