__git_ps1: command not found

[felipesabino]

I use bash_completion for my terminal, and I may have to dive deeper into the code implementation to be sure, but this might be related to the known issue about rvm

I load my profile files by the following script on top of my .bash_profile

# Load files
for file in ~/.{bash_prompt,exports,aliases,functions}; do
  [ -r "$file" ] && source "$file"
done
unset file

And .bash_prompt is one of them that seems to raise the error

# GIT

if [ -f `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion ]; then
    . `brew --prefix`/etc/bash_completion
fi

# PS1

RESET="\[\017\]"
NORMAL="\[\033[0m\]"
RED="\[\033[31;1m\]"
YELLOW="\[\033[33;1m\]"
WHITE="\[\033[37;1m\]"
SELECT="if [ \$? = 0 ]; then echo \"${YELLOW}\"; else echo \"${RED}\"; fi"


#export PS1="\w \[\033[0;33m\]$(__git_ps1) \[\033[0m\] >$ "
export PS1="${RESET} \`${SELECT}\`\w ${WHITE}\$(__git_ps1) ${NORMAL}\$ "

and the buggy showterm.io as an example: http://showterm.io/6ef68371dc1176074c302

Same happens for me.

It's because if you don't specify a program to start, it uses your shell, but doesn't start it up as a login shell, so .bash_profile and the files necessary for bash completion (where the function __git_ps1 is declared) don't get loaded.

As a workaround you can run showterm $SHELL -l

Yeah, I think this needs fixing. I'm not sure if there are any downsides to
running a login shell — it might be a bit slower?
