Re: Git info in your ZSH Prompt
#2I've been really digging oh-my-zsh recently for extending zsh, comes with a great plugin architecture and all sorts of cool shit: http://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh

#3Wow, am I the only person who prefers a shell prompt of just "$ "?
I have a bunch of abbreviations for common git commands, though, so I guess it balances out.

#6Note also that there's a more feature complete version that accomplishes the same tasks in the contrib directory of git (http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=contrib/comple...).

I was just about to post that. I actually made a few patches (pulled by olivier) to make the prompt work better on Mac OSX.
