Pure-Agnoster

The bastard child prompt I put together because I liked much of how both pure and agnoster worked. Works on light and dark terminal backgrounds

Overview

I am a fan of the powerline-esq theme that agnoster provides, but also really liked how pure handled git status and all of the asyncronus functionality, so I married the two together.

Why?

• Indicates when you have unpushed/unpulled git commits with up/down arrows. (Check is done asynchronously!)
• 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 only displayed when in an SSH session.
• Shows the current path in the title and the current folder & command when a process is running.

Install

Requires Git 2.0.0+ and ZSH 5.2+. Older versions of ZSH are known to work, but they are not recommended.

It should be noted that you also need a powerline compadable font for most of the features to work, and if you want to use the python virtual-env symbol that I use you will need to manually edit your own font. It isn't as hard as it sounds with free a download of fontforge and a perusing of flaticon. You want an eps file.

Manually

1. Either…

• Clone this repo
• add it as a submodule, or
• just download pure-agnoster.zsh and async.zsh

2. Symlink pure-agonster.zsh to somewhere in $fpath with the name prompt_pure_setup.

3. Symlink async.zsh in $fpath with the name async.

Example

$ ln -s "$PWD/pure-agnoster.zsh" /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/prompt_pure_setup
$ ln -s "$PWD/async.zsh" /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/async

Run echo $fpath to see possible locations.

For a user-specific installation (which would not require escalated privileges), simply add a directory to $fpath for that user:

# .zshenv or .zshrc
fpath=( "$HOME/.zfunctions" $fpath )

Then install the theme there:

$ ln -s "$PWD/pure-agnoster.zsh" "$HOME/.zfunctions/prompt_pure_setup"
$ ln -s "$PWD/async.zsh" "$HOME/.zfunctions/async"

Getting started

Initialize the prompt system (if not so already) and choose pure-agnoster:

# .zshrc
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt pure-agnoster

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.

PURE_GIT_PULL

Set PURE_GIT_PULL=0 to prevent pure-agnoster from checking whether the current Git remote has been updated.

PURE_GIT_UNTRACKED_DIRTY

Set PURE_GIT_UNTRACKED_DIRTY=0 to not include untracked files in dirtiness check. Only really useful on extremely huge repos like the WebKit repo.

PURE_GIT_DELAY_DIRTY_CHECK

Time in seconds to delay git dirty checking for large repositories (git status takes > 5 seconds). The check is performed asynchronously, this is to save CPU. Defaults to 1800 seconds.

PURE_PROMPT_SYMBOL

Defines the prompt symbol. The default value is ❯.

PURE_GIT_DOWN_ARROW

Defines the git down arrow symbol. The default value is ⇣.

PURE_GIT_UP_ARROW

Defines the git up arrow symbol. The default value is ⇡.

Example

# .zshrc

autoload -U promptinit; promptinit

# optionally define some options
PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=10

prompt pure-agnoster

Tips

In the screenshot you see Pure-agnoster running in termite with a pm-me on reddit font.

The Tomorrow Night Eighties theme with the Droid Sans Mono font (15pt) is also a nice combination.<br> Just make sure you have anti-aliasing enabled in your terminal.

To have auto-ls after cd'ing like you see in the example, check out my little fork of @desyncr's auto-ls

To have commands colorized as seen in the screenshot, install zsh-syntax-highlighting.

Integration

oh-my-zsh

1. Set ZSH_THEME="" in your .zshrc to disable oh-my-zsh themes.
2. Follow the Pure Install instructions.

antigen

Update your .zshrc file with the following two lines (order matters). Do not use the antigen theme function.

antigen bundle mafredri/zsh-async
antigen bundle yourfin/pure-agnoster

antibody

Update your .zshrc file with the following two lines (order matters):

antibody bundle mafredri/zsh-async
antibody bundle yourfin/pure-agnoster

zplug

Update your .zshrc file with the following two lines:

zplug mafredri/zsh-async, from:github
zplug "YourFin/pure", use:pure-agnoster.zsh, from:github, as:theme

FAQ

I am stuck in a shell loop in my terminal that ask me to authenticate. What should I do ?

This is a known issue. Using git pull when you get the username prompt should help you to break the loop by giving you a real prompt for this. This has been fixed in git 2.3

I am seeing the error zpty: can't open pseudo terminal: bad file descriptor.

This is a known issue. zsh/zpty requires either legacy bsd ptys or access to /dev/ptmx. Here are some known solutions.

Gentoo

$ sudo sh -c "echo 'SANDBOX_WRITE=\"/dev/ptmx\"' > /etc/sandbox.d/10zsh"
$ sudo emerge -1 zsh

FreeBSD 10.1

On a default setup, running the command kldload pty should do the trick. If you have a custom kernel, you might need to add device pty to the configuration file (example).
