Segments

pwd: Compact current working directory

The pwd segment format is X:P(N) where:

• X is either home or /
• P is the current working path base name (name of the current directory)
• N is the depth of the path starting from X

If the pwd is home or / then the prompt format is simplified to home and / respectively without the current directory and depth.

Examples

In home directory:

Inside a directory in home:

Outside the home directory:

git

If the current directory is a git repository then the pwd segment is replaced by the git segment (I should know where I am).

The git segment format is X:YI@Z:P(N) where:

• X is git
• Y is the current branch name
• I is the information about the current repository state
• Z is the name of the repository
• P is the current working path basename (name of the current directory) If P = Z then P(N) is not displayed
• N is the depth of the path starting from base directory of the repository

The displayed information I is:

• Dirtiness is indicated by a little dot after the branch name.
• Unpushed commits are indicated with up arrows
• The number of unpushed commits is indicated right after the up arrows

Examples

Dirty:

Unpushed commits:

In a sub-directory of the repository:

vi-mode

This segment display the current vi-mode if the fish native vi mode or the oh-my-fish vi-mode plugin is used. See the [n] in the previous screenshots.

end

The color of the end of the prompt depends on the $status value of the last executed command. It is green or red depending on the success or failure of the last command.

Since I often use ranger and its shift+s key binding to bring a new child shell session, there is a discreet indicator when the parent process of the current shell is a ranger process: the end of the prompt is written twice (ie: >> instead of just >). With this indicator I quickly see if I can ctrl+d to end the current shell process and go back to the parent ranger process.

where

The where segment format is X@Y where:

• X is the user name
• Y is the host name

This segment is displayed in the right prompt.

Functions

Some functions come with the theme:

• toggle_right_prompt will... toggle the right prompt! (alias: trp)

Cygwin compatibility

In order to make this theme work on Cygwin, make sure to install the following packages:

• bc for math fish function
• psmisc for pstree
• git if you want to use the git segment.
