Prefix Git Status File Path with particular string












1















I do git status --short at the root (of the Repository), and it lists the file path relative to the root like as follows:



M NumericalProgramming1Src/FloatingPointNumber.md
M NumericalProgramming1Src/NumericalProgramming.md


I want to prefix all the path with a value stored in a variable: CustomPrefix=My/Path/To/Root/ as follows



M My/Path/To/Root/NumericalProgramming1Src/FloatingPointNumber.md
M My/Path/To/Root/NumericalProgramming1Src/NumericalProgramming.md


How could I achieve this?



NOTE: Sometimes git status has more than one character in the beginning.

  • You could pipe it to sed "s~[ ]~ ${CustomPrefix}~"

  • This looks for very first space character. Do you mean that space character could not exist?

  • sometimes there are other characters apart from space like DM or DD or ??, etc

  • It doesn't matter unless space isn't there. Current accepted answer also assumes there is at least one space character.

With awk you simply call:



custom="/test/"
git status --short | awk -v cp="$custom" '{$2=cp$2}1'


For example, while git status --short yields



M org/languagetool/resource/de/added.txt


The above command yields:



M /test/org/languagetool/resource/de/added.txt

  • How can we use bash variable CustomPrefix inside awk command instead of /custom/prefix/? I am asking because the string stored in this variable changes value in a for loop.

    I have modified my answer accordingly; First, I set a new shell variable custom which I use inside my awk command via -v cp="$custom"
