How do I remove the extra bash-3.2$ from shell-mode?

How do I remove the extra bash-3.2$ from shell-mode?

[Andrew Pennebaker]

Help, the first line of my shell-mode has an extra bash-3.2$ prompt before
my git prompt.

I tried writing PROMPT_COMMAND= in my ~/.bashrc according to an earlier
Stack Overflow post, but bash-3.2$ continues to display anyway.

M-x shell-mode RET

Expected:

    dotfiles (master)$ RET
    dotfiles (master)$ RET
    dotfiles (master)$ RET

Observed:

    bash-3.2$ dotfiles (master)$ RET
    dotfiles (master)$ RET
    dotfiles (master)$ RET

Configuration:

* https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs
* https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.emacs_bash
* https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.bash_profile
* https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.bashrc
* https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/tree/master/.bashrc.d
* https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/tree/master/.bash_profile.d

System:

* emacs 24.4.1
* bash 3.2.57
* Mac OS X 10.10.3

What about reading man bash?
Stackoverflow will never replace documentation!
Emacs has a couple of nice commands to read unix manual pages.
Try: M-x man RET bash RET

Use the features of emacs, like, say, C-s

Actually, no.

The point of unix manual page is that they should be READ!

You should definitely read the manual page of bash from begin to end.

I know it's one of the biggest pages, nonetheless, since bash is a
program you're using all the time, you should read its documentation.

There's no way out.

Emacs seems to be printing its default PS1 prompt before emacs_bash has
fully executed. Is there a way to suppress this?

Just add:

echo '# welcome to emacs shell' 

at the end of your ~/.emacs_bash file, and it is "~/.emacs_bash", not
"emacs_bash"!!!!!!!!

I think the problem is that bash prints out the prompt when it starts.
It's only after it has read the line changing the prompt that it can
actually change the prompt.

The info manual says "The value of the variable `PROMPT_COMMAND' is
examined just before Bash prints each primary prompt."  So, at the start
of the .bashrc it has the wrong value, so one line is wrong.

I think you have to use -p to change the value for the first line.

I think your environment is configured oddly if you're seeing this
prompt at all.

Thank you for pointing that out. Turns out I was loading my git prompt with
.bash_profile, but not with .bashrc, after I had changed the load style of
my bash configuration for speed.

I've created
https://github.com/mcandre/dotfiles/blob/master/.bashrc.d/emacs-git-prompt.sh
to get the best of both worlds: fast shells, and idiomatic Emacs shell
prompts!
