Stuff:

  • WSL2:Ubuntu 20:04 LTS

  • Bash / FishShell

  • Powerline installed using sudo apt-get install powerline

Problem:

Powerline does not changing dislpayed branch after git checkout <branch_name>. When I do git branch, git shows me that I have switched to the branch but powerline still displaying the previous one. When I disabled powerline from shell config, then branch switching is corectly displaying. I have tried with new created user and it's the same, so it's not problem with .bashrc/ config.fish. Funny thing is that in vim, powerline works correctly. Any hints what can I do and check ? Reinstall powerline does not helped ;)

If you installed powerline only for your user, edit ./.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/powerline/config_files/config.json and change

"shell": {                                                                                                                                                                                     
   "colorscheme": "default",                                                                                                                                                              
   "theme": "default",                                                                                                                                                           
   "local_themes": {                                                                                                                                                                      
      "continuation": "continuation",                                                                                                                                                
      "select": "select"                                                                                                                                                             
   }                                                                                                                                                                                      
},

to

"shell": {                                                                                                                                                                                     
   "colorscheme": "default",                                                                                                                                                              
   "theme": "default_leftonly",                                                                                                                                                           
   "local_themes": {                                                                                                                                                                      
      "continuation": "continuation",                                                                                                                                                
      "select": "select"                                                                                                                                                             
   }                                                                                                                                                                                      
},

Also check if the powerline daemon is running and restart it.

ps aux | grep powerline
powerline-daemon --replace
