Git/Terminal issue

Git/Terminal issue

[GleMarS]

Hi,

I'm getting rage. Basically whenever I navigate to a folder that contains a
.git folder in Terminal (os x leopard), it prints a load of usage text. it's
driving me mad, I've uninstalled - re-installed etc etc and no joy.

I have set up git on other machines without any issue so I'm baffled. Output
image attached.

Help appreciated.

Cheers.

Are you using bash completion for git by any chance? Something calls
"git branch" with incorrect parameters, and it may be the call which
recalculates the bits for PS1.

Hi there,

Do you use some kind of special .bashrc, .profile, or other dotfiles that 
would affect what commands such as 'cd' do (i.e. aliases, etc)?

I cleared my .profile file but it didn't seem to have an effect. I also 
removed any aliases.

If that's what it sounds like I'll have another dig around.

Just do

  echo $PS1

and look at the commands it uses. If you just want to get rid
of the prompt set it to something trivial (i.e. "PS1=\w$ ")
