winline

Asyncify version of Greg Hurrell's zsh prompt

Feature

taken from https://github.com/wincent/wincent/blob/master/README.md#prompt

Visible here are:

  • Concise left-hand prompt consisting of:
  • Extended right-hand size prompt which auto-hides when necessary to make room for long commands and contains:
    • Duration of previous command in adaptive units (seconds, minutes, hours, days, depending on duration).
    • An async git prompt consists of:
      • Current version control branch name.
      • Current version control worktree status using colors that match those used in git status:
        • Green dot indicates staged changes.
        • Red dot indicates unstaged changes.
        • Blue dot indicates untracked files.
    • Full version of current working directory (again, abbreviating $HOME to ~).

Nested shells are indicated with additional prompt characters. For example, one nested shell:

Two nested shells:

Root shells are indicated with a different color prompt character and the word "root":

Nesting within a root shell is indicated like this:

Two nested shells:

If the last command exited with a non-zero status (usually indicative of an error), a yellow exclamation is shown:

If there are background processes, a yellow asterisk is shown:

Why

  • My friends request me to extract this prompt from my dotfiles to a separate repository ( ̄▽ ̄)
  • Async is great for working with large repository (ex: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo)

Installation

  1. Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/Z5483/winline.git
  1. Add the repository to $fpath in .zshrc
fpath+=/path/to/winline
  1. source either winline.zsh or winline.plugin.zsh in .zshrc
. /path/to/winline.zsh

# or

. /path/to/winline.plugin.zsh

Fallback

This prompt is heavily tailored to my needs so it is not very customizable compare to other mainstream zsh prompts such as:

Therefore, it is highly encourage that you use either one of the above or a different prompt if you want more granular customization or advance feature.
