Bullet Train for oh-my-zsh <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=bullettrain-sh" target="_blank"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/IRC-bullettrain–sh-1e72ff.svg?style=flat" height="20"></a>

Bullet Train is a oh-my-zsh shell theme based on the Powerline Vim plugin. It aims for simplicity, showing information only when it's relevant.

It currently shows:

Current Python virtualenv; when using Pyenv and no active virtualenv shows the current Python version the shell uses
Current Ruby version using chruby; version and gemset when on RVM or Rbenv
Current Node.js version, through NVM (if present) or Node.js
Current Perl version using plenv
Current Elixir version
Git status
Timestamp
Current directory
Background jobs
Exit code of last command

If you want add some new feature, of fix some bug, open an issue and lets hack together.

For a tmux theme to work with it, I suggest Maglev.

Preview

Requirements

In order to use the theme, you will first need:

Powerline compatible fonts like Vim Powerline patched fonts, Input Mono or Monoid.
On Ubuntu like systems you'll need the ttf-ancient-fonts package to correctly display some unicode symbols that are not covered by the Powerline fonts above.
A ZSH framework like antigen, oh-my-zsh or zgen
Make sure terminal is using 256-colors mode with export TERM="xterm-256color"
For iTerm 2 users, make sure you go into your settings and set both the regular font and the non-ascii font to powerline compatible fonts or the prompt separators and special characters will not display correctly.

Installing

For oh-my-zsh users

Download the theme here
Put the file bullet-train.zsh-theme in $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/
Configure the theme in your ~/.zshrc file:

ZSH_THEME="bullet-train"

For antigen users

Add the following snippet to your .zshrc somewhere after the line antigen use oh-my-zsh.

antigen theme https://github.com/caiogondim/bullet-train-oh-my-zsh-theme bullet-train

For Zgen users

If you're using zgen, add the following line to your ~/.zshrc where you're adding your other zsh plugins after the line zgen oh-my-zsh.

zgen load caiogondim/bullet-train-oh-my-zsh-theme bullet-train

For Zplug users

If you're using zplug, add the following line to your ~/.zshrc where you're adding your other zsh plugins.

setopt prompt_subst # Make sure prompt is able to be generated properly.
zplug "caiogondim/bullet-train.zsh", use:bullet-train.zsh-theme, defer:3 # defer until other plugins like oh-my-zsh is loaded

Options

Bullet Train is configurable. You can change colors and which segments you want or don't want to see. All options must be overridden in your .zshrc file.

Order

BULLETTRAIN_PROMPT_ORDER defines order of prompt segments. Use zsh array syntax to specify your own order, e.g:

BULLETTRAIN_PROMPT_ORDER=(
  git
  context
  dir
  time
)

NOTE: You do not need to specify end segment - it will be added automatically. With this you can also specify custom segments.

Prompt

`BULLETTRAIN_PROMPT_ROOT`	`true`	Highlight if running as root
`BULLETTRAIN_PROMPT_SEPARATE_LINE`	`true`	Make the prompt span across two lines
`BULLETTRAIN_PROMPT_ADD_NEWLINE`	`true`	Adds a newline character before each prompt line

Status

Variable	Default	Meaning
`BULLETTRAIN_STATUS_EXIT_SHOW`	`false`	Show/hide exit code of last command
`BULLETTRAIN_STATUS_BG`	`green`	Background color
`BULLETTRAIN_STATUS_ERROR_BG`	`red`	Background color of segment when last command exited with an error
`BULLETTRAIN_STATUS_FG`	`black`	Foreground color

Time

Context

Variable	Default	Meaning
`BULLETTRAIN_CONTEXT_BG`	`black`	Background color
`BULLETTRAIN_CONTEXT_FG`	`default`	Foreground color
`BULLETTRAIN_CONTEXT_DEFAULT_USER`	none	Default user. If you are running with other user other than default, the segment will be showed.
`BULLETTRAIN_CONTEXT_HOSTNAME`	`%m`	Hostname. Set %M to display the full qualified domain name.

`BULLETTRAIN_KCTX_KCONFIG`	`${HOME}/.kube/config`	Location of kube config file (e.g. /Users/Hugo/.kube/config)

The prompt will first check if BULLETTRAIN_KCTX_KUBECTL=true and kubectl is installed than it will use kubectl config view --minify to determine the context and default namespace in use. If BULLETTRAIN_KCTX_KUBECTL=false or kubectl is not installed, BULLETTRAIN_KCTX_KCONFIG will be parsed to get the current context.

The usage of kubectl allow the prompt to get the default namespace even if you are using multiple kube config files (e.g. KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/config:path-to-config1:path-to-config2)

The git prompt can be disabled for a specific repository by setting a git config flag: git config oh-my-zsh.hide-status 1. This is useful to avoid performance issues for particularly huge repositories.
