Top 23 Shell Prompt Projects

  • spaceship-prompt

    :rocket::star: Minimalistic, powerful and extremely customizable Zsh prompt

  • pure

    Pretty, minimal and fast ZSH prompt (by sindresorhus)

    • Project mention: Carapace: A multi-shell completion library and binary | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-22

    Beyond zprof (https://www.bigbinary.com/blog/zsh-profiling) not really I'm afraid. I did the majority of my zsh-prompt hacking 10 years ago and haven't thought about it since. That snippet could be from anywhere.

    You could peek at something like zprezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto or pure https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure for tips.

    Fetching git/hg/... info is always slow, so try and speed that up where you can (as to how to do that, uhh... I know my prompt has a dirty-state check nicked from pure for speed reasons). You can also cache any `asdf init zsh` or similar to a file and do the same "run in background" trick so the next shell will have any changes.

    The biggest improvement I can remember was dropping zprezto for my own much smaller config, I really did not need much comparatively. Mostly some git info and "good default" options. I use zgenom for a plugin manager but only have 3 plugins, probably I should just dump it and inline the plugins to avoid getting owned one day.

    • Project mention: Linux Filesystem Hierarchy | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-01

    Oh my gosh, that /opt/local rant was prophetic.

    This is how I set my $PATH, note this code is portable between several Linux distros (including NixOS), macOS, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and amd64/arm64...

    <https://github.com/rollcat/dotfiles/blob/52a634f/.profile#L1...>

    Whenever I touch it, I just wish I could put PATH=/bin in there instead, but then I'd be stuck juggling 17 different ways to make bind mounts.
