Revision as of 09:36, 23 November 2009

my personal (zsh) prompt setups has

  • last exit status (teal normally, red with number when non-zero
  • host:path in network friendly (ish) format
  • path shortening to last three components, plus subtle visual indication when this occurs
  • path colourisation to indicate $PWD RW vs RO
  • ^ and $ reminder mnemonic for regex start/end line matching (I have a dyslexia about this!)
  • live time and load average (load gets dynamic colourisation also)
    • for values of "live" that = "20 second refresh"
  • current tty

ideas I don't currently implement

  • per-host auto-colourisation
  • vcs_info (I would probably replace tty info with this, with a colourisation to help the glancing eye notice)
