How to add time on git command prompt

Question

I want to add current time on git command prompt. with keeping the same actual parameters.

How to do it like the following image.

Answer 1

Navigate to your Git installation folder to where your profiles are located: Git\etc\profile.d and open the file called git-prompt.sh. Change the last block of code to include the time stamp like this:

PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[0m\]'        # change color
PS1="$PS1"' \A \D{%d/%m/%Y}'   # time & date
PS1="$PS1"'\n'                 # new line
PS1="$PS1"'$ '                 # prompt: always $

Just to highlight, this is the line you are inserting just before bash inserts a new line:

PS1="$PS1"' \A \D{%d/%m/%Y}'   # time & date

\A will display the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format and \D{format} will display the date with a custom format. The format takes any arguments supported by strftime(3). The format we have used is broken down into these segments:

%m - The month as a decimal number (range 01 to 12). 
%d - The day of the month as a decimal number (range 01 to 31). 
%y - The year as a decimal number without a century (range 00 to 99).

That should give you a following console output similar to this:

~/Desktop/Code/carhabti (master) 01:28 23/06/2019

Here is a list of escape sequences that are used to format time in bash:

\t     the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
\T     the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
\@     the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
\A     the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format
