Liquid Prompt Win - An adaptation for Windows Cmd

This project has been inspired by https://github.com/nojhan/liquidprompt. It is written in C# as a Windows Framework Console Application and does currently not support interactive commands and also not the full feature list that liquid prompt does. (also this readme plagiarizes nojhan's)

Features

• when inside a github repository:
  • will show this current working branch as [master] and optionally the number of stashes behind the branch name, and how far it is behind/ahead of the remote branch
  • Then repository info as follows:
    • + (added)
    • ~ (modified)
    • - (removed)
    • @ (staged)
    • ? (untracked)
    • x (missing)
  • example: C:\Users\JMarianczuk\Repos\LiquidPromptWin [master (~1 | ?1)]>
• Special commands:
  • exit: stops this Liquid Prompt Win instance
  • sudo x: run x with elevated permissions
  • sudocommand x: start a new cmd window with elevated permissions in the same directory as the current working directory and execute x (alias: sudoc)
• General: if a command cannot be executed, LPWin will try to get a cmd instance to execute it. For example, the command "echo hi" will not work on its own, but the command processor knows what to do with it.

Usage

• build the project in any location
• grab a folder X that has been added to your computer's PATH variable
• create a shortcut to LPWin's executable inside X. I recommend giving it a short name ("LP.LNK" for example)
• Go to the shortcut's properties and set "Start in:" to "%CD%". This will run LP in the directory you called it from (or from the place you called it from in cmd).
• Either run LP directly or from cmd.

Notice: Since interactive commands are not supported, starting any interactive command from within LP will result in an exception when the command tries to read from the console.
