This works in Bash (parse_git_branch is a defined function)

export PS1="\$(parse_git_branch)"

but I cannot figure out the equivalent in zsh.

Note: parse_git_branch itself works.

I have "v" aliased to "vim */.cpp */.hpp */.cxx" Problem is, if I'm in a directory without any .cxx files, zsh treats this as an error. Is there anyway to tell zsh to create the absence of */*.cxx files as "" instead of an error? >>> More
