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.
• Shows git branch and whether 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.
• Username and host is only displayed when in an SSH session.
• Shows the current path in the title and the current directory and command when a process is running.
• Can easily be used as a starting point for your own custom prompt.

Getting started

• Download pure.zsh or submodule this repo. Submodule recommended as it makes it easy to keep it up to date.
• In your .zshrc add any of the below options, then import pure . path/to/pure.zsh.

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

# .zshrc

# optionally define some options
PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=10

# import the prompt
. pure.zsh

Tip

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