Pure

Pretty, minimal and fast ZSH prompt

Overview

Most prompts are cluttered, ugly and slow. I wanted something visually pleasing that stayed out of my way.

Why?

  • Comes with the perfect prompt character. Author went through the whole Unicode range to find it.
  • Username is only displayed if not default
  • Shows git branch and if it's dirty using the fastest method available
  • Prompt character turns red if the last command didn't exit with 0
  • Command execution time will be displayed if it exceeds the set threshold
  • Can easily be used as a starting point for your own custom prompt

Getting started

  • Download pure.zsh or submodule this repo.
  • In your .zshrc add any of the below options, then import pure . path/to/pure.zsh.

Options

PURE_DEFAULT_USERNAME

Define your username if you want to hide it from the prompt when it matches the current username.

PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME

The max execution time of a process before its run time is shown when it exits. Defaults to 5 seconds.

Tip

Tomorrow Night theme with the Droid Sans Mono font (15pt) is a beautiful combination, as seen in the screenshot above.
