A zsh theme inspired by Cmder with some additional git related prompt features.

Clone this repository into your .oh-my-zsh/custom/themes directory:

git clone https://github.com/bwpge/zcmder "${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/zcmder"

Set the theme in your .zshrc:

ZSH_THEME=zcmder/zcmder

Clone this repository to your machine (e.g., ~/.zsh):

git clone https://github.com/bwpge/zcmder ~/.zsh/zcmder

Source the theme in your .zshrc:

source ~/.zsh/zcmder/zcmder.zsh-theme

To update, pull any new commits from this repository:

cd "${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/zcmder" && git pull

Be sure to reload (e.g., omz reload) or source the new file (e.g., source zcmder.zsh-theme) for any active sessions.

Environment variables used by this theme are always prefixed with ZCMDER_. This theme uses following associative arrays:

• ZCMDER_COMPONENTS
• ZCMDER_STYLES
• ZCMDER_OPTIONS
• ZCMDER_STRINGS

When the theme is sourced, these variables are reset to ensure proper declaration and initial values. To customize them, set your desired values after sourcing the theme (or oh-my-zsh.sh).

Example .zshrc:

ZSH_THEME=zcmder/zcmder
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

# zcmder options
ZCMDER_STYLES[cwd]="fg=green,underline" # use green fg and underline effect on cwd
ZCMDER_STYLES[git_branch_default]='fg=blue'  # use blue for default git branch color
ZCMDER_STYLES[git_new_repo]='bg=#2277ff,standout'  # use RGB value for new repo bg color
ZCMDER_COMPONENTS[python_env]=false  # disable python env component
ZCMDER_STRINGS[git_separator]=''  # don't print 'on ' before git prompt
ZCMDER_STRINGS[git_prefix]='■ '  # use different branch icon

The following tables explains each option and usage.

Controls which components or segments of the prompt are printed.

Controls colors and text effects of the various items in the prompt.

This associative array uses very similar syntax as "types of highlighting" in zshzle(1):

• Values must be a string
• Tokens are separated by commas (without leading or trailing spaces)

Valid style tokens:

• fg=<color>: see below for color formats
• bg=<color>: same as fg
• bold: render bold or "intense" text (some terminals render this with "bright" colors and no font weight)
• dim: render faint text (some terminals treat this as bold)
• italic: render italicized text (some terminals treat this as inverse or blink effect)
• underline: render underlined text
• standout: uses zsh's %S prompt expansion for the terminal's standout mode, typically "reverse video" (see invert)
• invert: explicitly writes \x1b[7m for reverse video (not supported by all terminals)
  • Note: prefer using standout
  • If both standout and invert are specified in a style, invert is ignored

Valid colors have the following form (see fg section of Character Highlighting in zshzle(1) for more information):

• Common name (black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan and white)
• 256-color integer value (e.g., 8 for "bright black" or 142 for Gold3, see this reference)
• Hex RGB string #RRGGBB

Example usage:

# green and bold text, inverted (green/default-bg swapped)
ZCMDER_STYLES[cwd]='fg=2,bold,standout'
# white on black in italic/underline
ZCMDER_STYLES[cwd]='fg=#ffffff,bg=#000000,italic,underline'

Git status styles have the following priority:

• git_staged
• git_unmerged
• git_untracked
• git_modified
• git_repo_new
• git_branch_default

Controls general behavior of the prompt.

Controls values or tokens in each component that are printed.

By default, this theme will set/change several ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_* environment variables since ZCMDER_STRINGS initializes values from these variables. Changes to these variables will persist through omz reload, so this behavior may not be desireable.

To disable this behavior, set ZCMDER_NO_MODIFY_ZSH_THEME prior to loading oh-my-zsh or sourcing the theme.

Example .zshrc:

# ...

ZSH_THEME=zcmder/zcmder
ZCMDER_NO_MODIFY_ZSH_THEME=1
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

# ... zcmder config

To use the zcmder git status style without modifying ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_* variables, use the following options after sourcing this theme:

ZSH_THEME=zcmder/zcmder
ZCMDER_NO_MODIFY_ZSH_THEME=1
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

# zcmder config
