Question: Coloring the separator of a particular car

[gabrielecirulli]

Thanks! Via some experimentation it turned out I just had to change the separator's color, and I ended up somewhere quite similar to the solution you pointed out (using the master branch and zsh in my case). It wasn't necessary to have a templating feature as I could export the appropriate value before the prompt renders.

precmd() {
  if [[ -n $(git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null) ]]; then
    if [[ -n $(git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null) ]]; then
      export GBT_CAR_SIGN_SEP_FG="light_red"
    else
      export GBT_CAR_SIGN_SEP_FG="green"
    fi
  else
    unset GBT_CAR_SIGN_SEP_FG
  fi

  print ""
}

PROMPT='$(gbt $?)'

Looks pretty amazing by the way! Thanks for the great project.

To "hide" the separator, you just need to set it to an empty string:

# When using GBT from a release
export GBT_CAR_CUSTOM_SEP=''
# When using GBT from master branch
export GBT_CAR_SIGN_SEP_TEXT=''

You can set the color of a particular separator like this (last release doesn't contain this feature, requires GBT compiled from master until I release new version):

export GBT_CAR_SIGN_SEP_FG='red'

Bare in mind that you currently cannot change the color the separator dynamically (if Git dir is clean = use green color, if Git dir is dirty = use dir color). That would require to implement templating feature which is outlined in the TODO.

Please let me know if the above worked for your.
