-
Fast - Asynchronous rendering makes Tide instantly responsive in any situation.
-
Friendly - An interactive configuration wizard lets you design your prompt efficiently.
-
Flexible - Pure-Fish construction means you can easily control existing content or create your own that will integrate seamlessly.
Installation
System Requirements
- The latest version of Fish, currently 3.6.4. <sup><sub>Using an older version of Fish?</sub></sup>
- A Nerd Font installed and enabled in your terminal (for example the recommended font).
Install with Fisher:
fisher install IlanCosman/tide@v6
This script may not work for all use cases.
set -l _tide_tmp_dir (command mktemp -d)
curl https://codeload.github.com/ilancosman/tide/tar.gz/v6 | tar -xzC $_tide_tmp_dir
command cp -R $_tide_tmp_dir/*/{completions,conf.d,functions} $__fish_config_dir
fish_path=(status fish-path) exec $fish_path -C "emit _tide_init_install"
Features
Configuration Wizard
Run tide configure to open the wizard in your terminal.
Flexible
Using the items list for each side of the prompt, you have full control of which and where prompt sections display.
Extendable
If there isn't an item that fits your needs you can make your own (and hopefully submit a pull request) or ask for it to be made by opening an issue.
<br clear="left">Asynchronous Rendering
Tide runs everything in the background so that your prompt will always feel snappy.
Asynchronous rendering also lets Tide display more information than other prompts. For example, most prompts don't display the number of untracked, modified, or deleted files in a git repository because it's too slow to compute.
Current directory that just works
The current working directory is the most important part of any shell prompt. Tide highlights the critical parts and truncates with the least loss of information when horizontal space is scarce.
<div align="center"><img src="https://github.com/IlanCosman/tide/blob/assets/images/pwd.png"/></div>When the full directory doesn't fit, the leftmost segment is truncated to its shortest unique prefix. In the example above, Documents becomes Doc instead of D because that could be confused with Downloads. Important segments are bold and never truncated. These include the last segment, root of a Git repository etc.
<sup>Tip: If you copy-paste a truncated path and hit <kbd>tab</kbd>, it will complete to the original.</sup>

Fonts
Meslo Nerd Font
A gorgeous monospace font designed by Jim Lyles for Bitstream, customized for Apple, enhanced by André Berg, and finally patched by Roman Perepelitsa of Powerlevel10k with scripts originally developed by Ryan McIntyre of Nerd Fonts. Contains all the glyphs and symbols that Tide may need. Battle-tested in dozens of different terminals on all major operating systems.
Font Installation
Download these four ttf files:
Open each file and click "Install". This will make the MesloLGS NF font available to all applications on your system. Configure your terminal to use this font.
