zsh-ssfprompt: slim, simple, fast prompt for Zsh

This is prompt for zsh designed to be:

• Simple: only shows the information that matters
• Slim: fits on one line, with VCS information on the right and disappearing as needed
• Fast: expensive lookups are minimized and done asynchronously
• Simple implementation: heavily relies on existing libraries

It's likely going to evolve very little (if at all) functionality-wise.

Install

I recommend a zsh plugin manager, such as Zplugin:

zplugin light https://gitlab.com/hugoh/zsh-ssfprompt.git

Requirements

• For asynchronous lookups, you will need to install zsh-async.
• One Git status module; by default, it uses posh-git-sh

Again, with Zplugin:

zplugin light mafredri/zsh-async
zplugin ice pick'git-prompt.sh'; zplugin light lyze/posh-git-sh
zplugin light https://gitlab.com/hugoh/zsh-ssfprompt.git

Customization

You can of course defined your own PROMPT variable.

You can also override the Git status function to your liking.

To use gitHUD:

prompt_ssfprompt_vcs_status() { command githud zsh }

To use git-radar:

prompt_ssfprompt_vcs_status() { command git-radar --zsh }

Etc.
