Awesome

Depends

You must load zsh-hooks before this plugin.

Install

I recommend using zgen. Here is how to do it with zgen:

zgen load willghatch/zsh-hooks
zgen load willghatch/zsh-megaprompt

Otherwise, just source the .zsh files

Features

• Maximal information
• Directory coloring based on permissions/ownership
• shows git/hg branch if in repo
• shows current keymap indicator (I suggest replacing vi-ins with emacs, then you get the best of both worlds)
• shows exit status if non-zero
• shows number of jobs if non-zero
• shows time (useful when you want to know when you ran an old command)
• shows history number (useful for history expansion)
• shows user/host
• configure which of these are displayed

Configuration

• <code>MEGAPROMPT_STYLES</code> is an associative array of styles to color codes or strings for different parts
• <code>MEGAPROMPT_KEYMAP_IND</code> is an associative array of keymap names to their indicators
• <code>MEGAPROMPT_PRE_FUNCTION</code> is the name of a function to call to generate a prefix to the prompt. This allows you to add something custom before the start of the prompt.
• <code>MEGAPROMPT_DISPLAY_P</code> is an associative array of display pieces to "true" or "false"
  • <code>git_dirty</code> do you want to be informed when your git repo is dirty? (note: this may be slow)
  • <code>git_untracked</code> do you want to be informed when your git repo is has untracked files?
  • <code>git_ahead_behind</code> do you want to be informed when your git repo ahead or behind of its tracking branch?
  • <code>time</code> do you want the time of the command? (Yes -- it's useful later when you want to know when you ran something)
  • <code>username</code> do you want to see your username? (I recommend setting it to false for your normal username, true otherwise)
  • <code>host</code> do you want to see your hostname? (I recommend setting it to false unless $SSH_CLIENT or $TMUX is set)
  • <code>tty</code> do you want to see what tty you're on?
  • <code>histnum</code> do you want to see what history number you're on? (useful for history expansion)
  • <code>hrule</code> do you want a horizontal line to go to the end of the line to visually delimit output from different commands?
  • <code>truncate</code> do you want to truncate the top line if it is longer than your terminal? (this also happens if hrule is on)
  • <code>branch_style_regex</code> do you want to match branch styles using regex (requires zsh to be compiled with PCRE support)?
• <code>MEGAPROMPT_GIT_STYLES</code> is an an associative array of regexes to colors for git branch names

These arrays are defined at the top of the source, so just look at it to see what fields exist on the ones I haven't documented. There are a lot of fields.

Screenshots

These screenshots are out of date, but I haven't wanted to bother updating them.

Issues

• This was written primarily for zsh version 5. With version 4.3.17 it works fine except that the keymap indicator doesn't initialize properly until after the first command or keymap change.
• The hrule option (MEGAPROMPT_DISPLAY_P[hrule]=true) and the truncate option don't work well below zsh version 5.0.7 -- they are truncated a little too early and therefore don't span the whole line like they are supposed to.
• The PCRE module is required for git branch coloring. As far as I know all distributions include it.
