okay, riddle me this
i have a file in my home directory called .git-prompt.sh that defines a function called __git_ps1
i include the output of that function in my $PS1 by writing it into my .bashrc file like so:
source ~/.git-prompt.sh
export GIT_PS1_SHOWDIRTYSTATE=1
export GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="auto"
if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m$(__git_ps1 " (%s)" 2> /dev/null)\]\$ '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w$(__git_ps1 " (%s)" 2> /dev/null)\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt
and it all works well and good, except that i made a change to the function to make it work better for what i do
when i log into my shell, it loads a version of .git_prompt.sh without my changes, somehow
if i manually source ~/.git-prompt.sh, the changes i made come into effect
how could that even be possible
