function elementInArray() {
  local e
  for e in "${@:2}"; do [[ "$e" == "$1" ]] && return 0; done
  return 1
}

function git() {
    command git $@

    if (elementInArray $1 $gitPreAutoStatusCommands); then
        command git status
    fi
}

I loved it! This plugin is very fit my habbit.

@oshybystyi
I added this file to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/git-auto-status/git-auto-status.plugin.zsh. Made it executable using chmod +x git-auto-status.plugin.zsh. And finally restarted my terminal but I don't see the plugin in action. Have I missed some step here?

@oshybystyi @usmanajmal me too

@usmanajmal and @yokots:

...and modify plugins variable of your .zshrc so it contains git_auto_status

Really handy plugin! Thanks! :)

For me it was necessary to update plugins variable of my .zshrc so it contains git-auto-status (with hyphen). I tried first with git_auto_status (with underscore) as it is said in the description, but it didn't work. Don't know why, but I guess the name of the plugin directory and the name on .zshrc must be the same.

Hi,
I have a problem with it. When I am in repo it works like a charm :) but when I am not every action in terminal returns:

VCS_INFO_git_getbranch:44: no such file or directory: /HEAD
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git 

Someone now how to fix it?

Just in case someone is looking for this in bash:

gitPreAutoStatusCommands=(
  'add'
  'rm'
  'mv'
  'checkout'
  'rebase'
)

function git() {
  command git "${@}"

  if [[ " ${gitPreAutoStatusCommands[@]} " =~ " ${1} " ]]; then
    echo  # empty line
    command git status
  fi  
}

Automatically clone it in the correct ohmyzsh dir:

git clone https://gist.github.com/475ee7768efc03727f21.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/git-auto-status

Did not work in my macOS terminal!

@oshybystyi Please update the description where it says

So you should put this file into ~/zsh_custom/plugins/git-auto-status and
modify plugins variable of your .zshrc so it contains
git_auto_status.

with "git-auto-status" instead of "git_auto_status"
