This file describes my ZShell Theme… essentially my prompt.
It has two parts, the left side, PROMPT
shows a happy face for
every process that works.
The right side, RPROMPT
show a traffic light signal to represent
the current Git status.
We first need to load the special prompt features as well as the nicer color variables:
setopt prompt_subst
autoload -U colors && colors
Our prompt checks the last command ran, and displays a red sad face, if the command failed. Cute, true, but I’m not sure how useful it is.
Prompt options:
- %n - User’s name: habrams
- %m - Machine name
- %~ - Current directory with HOME substituted
- %c - Basename of the current directory
- %d - Current directory without substitution
Prompt colors: %{%F{red}%}
- red
- blue
- green
- yellow
my_prompt_string() {
local ST=$?
PROMPT_SAD="%{%F{red}%}(O_o)%{$reset_color%}"
PROMPT_HAPPY="%{%F{green}%}(^_^)%{$reset_color%}"
PROMPT_REST="%{%F{yellow}%}%~%{$reset_color%}\n %{%F{blue}%}➜ %{$reset_color%}"
if [[ $ST = 0 ]]
then
echo "$PROMPT_HAPPY $PROMPT_REST "
else
echo "$PROMPT_SAD $PROMPT_REST "
fi
}
The prompt is simply the execution of our my_prompt_string
function.
PROMPT='$(my_prompt_string)'
According to this article, we have a clever way of describing the status of the current git repository with traffic lights.
Modify the colors and symbols in these variables as desired.
GIT_PROMPT_SYMBOL="%{$fg[blue]%}±"
GIT_PROMPT_PREFIX="%{$fg[green]%}[%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX="%{$fg[green]%}]%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_AHEAD="%{$fg[red]%}ANUM%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_BEHIND="%{$fg[cyan]%}BNUM%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_MERGING="%{$fg_bold[magenta]%}⚡︎%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_UNTRACKED="%{$fg_bold[red]%}●%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_MODIFIED="%{$fg_bold[yellow]%}●%{$reset_color%}"
GIT_PROMPT_STAGED="%{$fg_bold[green]%}●%{$reset_color%}"
Show Git branch/tag, or name-rev if on detached head
parse_git_branch() {
(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD || git name-rev --name-only --no-undefined --always HEAD) 2> /dev/null
}
Show different symbols as appropriate for various Git repository states
parse_git_state() {
# Compose this value via multiple conditional appends.
local GIT_STATE=""
local NUM_AHEAD="$(git log --oneline @{u}.. 2> /dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
if [ "$NUM_AHEAD" -gt 0 ]; then
GIT_STATE=$GIT_STATE${GIT_PROMPT_AHEAD//NUM/$NUM_AHEAD}
fi
local NUM_BEHIND="$(git log --oneline ..@{u} 2> /dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
if [ "$NUM_BEHIND" -gt 0 ]; then
GIT_STATE=$GIT_STATE${GIT_PROMPT_BEHIND//NUM/$NUM_BEHIND}
fi
local GIT_DIR="$(git rev-parse --git-dir 2> /dev/null)"
if [ -n $GIT_DIR ] && test -r $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD; then
GIT_STATE=$GIT_STATE$GIT_PROMPT_MERGING
fi
if [[ -n $(git ls-files --other --exclude-standard 2> /dev/null) ]]; then
GIT_STATE=$GIT_STATE$GIT_PROMPT_UNTRACKED
fi
if ! git diff --quiet 2> /dev/null; then
GIT_STATE=$GIT_STATE$GIT_PROMPT_MODIFIED
fi
if ! git diff --cached --quiet 2> /dev/null; then
GIT_STATE=$GIT_STATE$GIT_PROMPT_STAGED
fi
if [[ -n $GIT_STATE ]]; then
echo "$GIT_PROMPT_PREFIX$GIT_STATE$GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX"
fi
}
If inside a Git repository, print its branch and state
git_prompt_string() {
local git_where="$(parse_git_branch)"
[ -n "$git_where" ] && echo "$GIT_PROMPT_SYMBOL$(parse_git_state)$GIT_PROMPT_PREFIX%{$fg[yellow]%}${git_where#(refs/heads/|tags/)}$GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX"
}
Set the right-hand prompt. Not sure why we don’t use RPROMPT
.
RPROMPT='$(git_prompt_string)'
The following are the tangled settings. Type: C-c C-v t
to create the script file.
