Wish item: symbol for branches

[fniessen]

Dear Ben,

May I?
You may consider this as going too far - and I'd understand. So, your call!

I'd find it very nice to get the "branch" symbol that I had in PowerLevel9k... but even better: just having it displayed when it's a real branch - I mean, not for trunk (in SVN) nor master (in Git). That'd clearly would make branches stand out in the prompt.

As I said, this is not an issue, nor a bug, just an item on a wish list.

I doubt I'd make this a default thing, but this is a perfect example of why I made ZINC as customizable as possible.

Either you could add a new async segment that just displayed that icon when the output of git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD matches some setting (like != master) and then set it with display mode CONNECT_PREV, or you could modify the zincs_vcs functions as you see fit.

I don't know the command to get the name of the SVN branch in a clean way, if you know how I can try adding such a segment to the fniessen-p9k-port preset.

I'll try one out with git sometime soon to make a demo.

Dear Ben,

Here's how to get the branch name:

 svn info | grep '^URL:' | egrep -o '(tags|branches)/[^/]+|trunk' | egrep -o '[^/]+$'

Actually, the branch name is currently incorrect when we are in trunk...
