Broken History about bash-it

Bash history works just fine for me. Do you have any custom stuff that could be messing with it?

[phoet]

nope.

as an example, the prompt looks like this as in a git repo:

± |master ✓| →

using the bash-history overwrites the branch information at some point, which looks like this:

cd .vim/ → git pull

so the cd-command is the actual command from bash history, but it won't get shown at the right position.

Which theme is that? It probably isn't an issue with bash history, more with with theme.

[phoet]

it's the default one from bash_it/template/bash_profile.template.bash

export BASH_THEME='bobby'

Hmm... I seem to be having the same problem. I'll try to see what I can do.

[phoet]

if there is some other theme that won't brake the history i'll be fine with that.

Any of the others should work. The one that is closest to "bobby" that I've used would probably be "modern".

[phoet]

thx, i'll have a look into the other themes, as modern doesn't provide an rvm info

Just started using this today and I am having the same issue. If someone knows what specifically is causing the problem I can poke around for a fix.

I had the same problem when working on a theme. I solved it by enclosing non-printing characters with [ and ] in the theme file. Try it and see if it helps.

[wwalser]

It's been to long to remember exactly, but I think I attempted enclosing non-printing characters as well. I believe that I was not successful in getting this method to work, but I am not confident in my understanding of exactly how the escapes should be positioned.

All color variables have to be enclosed in \[…\] when used in a prompt. This marks the sequence as non-printable so bash skips it when calculating the prompt's length.
${green} → \[${green}\]
${normal} → \[${normal}\]
