My shell prompt looks like this: ➜ ~ git:(master) ✗. How can I get my normal prompt back?

问题

My normal terminal command line has suddenly disappeared and has been replaced by this git command line ➜ ~ git:(master) ✗.

How do I get rid of this and go back to my normal command line in Terminal? I on Mac OS X.

I have tried typing exit, Ctrl+c, q, etc. but nothing helped.

回答1:

I know your problem , You are using zsh, right?

If so, you should add export PS1=xxxxx to ~/.zshrc, not ~/.bashrc.

Or you just don't use zsh , input bash and switch to bash.input chsh -s /bin/bash to change the default shell to bash.

回答2:

You must have installed something (I'm not sure what) that modified your prompt to give you context-sensitive information about the Git repository (if any) you're in.

Simply adding

export PS1="\h:\W \u\$ "

at the very bottom of your

• ~/.bash_profile file, if you use bash, or
• ~/.zshrc file, if you use zsh,

and then sourcing that file (or restarting Terminal) should rid you of that fancy colourful prompt.

This happened to me when getting my head around zsh and git. I created a git repo in the wrong folder and started seeing this zsh context. Because I didn't want a repo in this directory I removed the git information with:

rm -R .git

Note you will only want to do this if you have an invalid git repository.

There is nothing wrong with your system or you change something involuntarily. You must have download oh-my-zsh and set your default terminal from bash to zsh. Oh-my-zsh has many different themes, all these themes have different appearances and provide more efficient functions, git information is one of them. The default theme of oh-my-zsh is "robbyrussell" and it just looks like your shell prompt. You can go to "~/.oh-my-zsh/themes" to choose your favorite theme and apply it to the configuration file "./zshrc". I know you have solved the problem by uninstalled the zsh and use the original bash, I just want to tell you the essential reason of this problem. And oh-my-zsh truly provides some convenience which helps you use the command line, maybe you should try it again!

I also has this problem like: "➜ ~ git:(master) ✗" on the Mac OS X. Because I type the command "git init".

When I type the command "rm -R .git", it comes back into normal command line in Terminal. PS: I use zsh.

回答6:

I'm assuming you entered "git init" like I did. It took me a while to figure this out, but when you entered "git init" you created a hidden git folder named ".git".

You can see the folder by going to your home directory and typing "ls -a".

Simply remove the file (rm -rf .git), and the prompt will magically disappear.

回答7:

There seems to be a few command line tools that work together with Git that add those customizations.

In my case after installing Drush I got my ~/.bashrc file updated with Drush-specific customizations, which in this case addded a green (master *) $ to the prompt, no matter where I was (very annoying).

Fixed it by commenting out the block after # Include Drush prompt customizations. in my ~/.bashrc and then source ~/.bashrc

回答8:

Open your ZSH config file

sudo vim ~/.zshrc

and paste below command at the bottom of the file

PROMPT='${ret_status} %{$fg[cyan]%}%c%{$reset_color%} '

this will show current directory

回答9:

if you having seen the (master) in somewhere your folder. try this

git rm .git

It will automatically remove the master
