# Pure
> Pretty, minimal and fast ZSH prompt
![screenshot](screenshot.png)
## 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.
- Shows git branch and whether it's dirty using the [fastest](https://gist.github.com/3898739) 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.
- Username and host is only displayed when in an SSH session.
- Shows the current path in the title and the [current directory and command](screenshot-title-cmd.png) when a process is running.
- Can easily be used as a starting point for your own custom prompt.
## Getting started
- Place this file somewhere in `$fpath` with the name `prompt_pure_setup`
For example:
```
$ sudo cp ./pure.zsh /usr/share/zsh/functions/Prompts/prompt_pure_setup
```
- Initialize the prompt system (if not so already):
```sh
# .zshrc
autoload -U promptinit
promptinit
```
- Choose this prompt:
```sh
# .zshrc
prompt pure
```
## Options
### `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.
## Example
```sh
# .zshrc
# optionally define some options
PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=10
prompt pure
```
## Tip
[Tomorrow Night Eighties](https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme) theme with the [Droid Sans Mono](http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Droid+Sans+Mono) font (15pt) is a beautiful combination, as seen in the screenshot above.
