# fish_vcs_prompt - output version control system information for use in a prompt

## Synopsis

    fish_vcs_prompt

    function fish_prompt
         printf '%s' $PWD (fish_vcs_prompt) ' $ '
    end

## Description

The `fish_vcs_prompt` function displays information about the current version control system (VCS) repository, if any.

It calls out to VCS-specific functions. The currently supported systems are:

- fish_git_prompt

- fish_hg_prompt

- fish_darcs_prompt

- fish_svn_prompt

If a VCS isn’t installed, the respective function does nothing.

The Subversion prompt is disabled by default, because it’s slow on large repositories. To enable it, modify `fish_vcs_prompt` to uncomment it. See funced.

For more information, see the documentation for each of the functions above.

## Example

A simple prompt that displays all known VCS info:

    function fish_prompt
        ...
        set -g __fish_git_prompt_showupstream auto
        printf '%s %s$' $PWD (fish_vcs_prompt)
    end
