Hello *nixer,
So here we go: "Show us your PROMPT"

here my old one:
[Image: 9RdS]

and my current:

The configs might change if you are using a different shell so posting the configs will be useless.
Reproducing the same PROMPT should not be that hard.

Only post the prompt without the whole desktop and no spoilers.

Hmm, not sure why. It works great for me, and worked for the person above you. And they are the same images from HF that work well. Maybe it's you 0.0

I use zsh with pretty simple prompt. I have to include hostname there since I ssh a lot.

What's fancy about it is VCS support + Vim mode hacks.

That's how my prompt looks in insert mode (which is default):
[Image: vZ2tvZQ]

That's how my prompt looks in normal mode (after esc/ctrl-[ ):
[Image: vZ2tvZAi]

Works well with tmux.

Inside git repository (works with others too):

those ?! indicates what changed and does we have stagged changes, unstaged, modified files, untraced files, etc.

[My configuration](https://github.com/ivyl/zsh-config/blob/...prompt.zsh).

Here's to necroing threads :P

My current (zsh) prompt:

[Image: 5jHNAX3.png]

Explanation: The green "dotted box" represents the user, because the user (dot) lives within a boxed-in set of permissions. Root gets the lightning bolt because "power."

It sounded more clever in my head...

Also showing off my favorite little tab completion script, but I like to keep it basic. I do have an issue or two here and there with the script that checks whether I'm in a git repository, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

Tab completion is so nice. Cute prompt.

	josuah Offline \| 03-04-2016, 11:28 PM \| #30

I had multiple prompts. My first was 4 lines! Furthermore, I am using bash (just because I do not always work on my machine and bash is everywhere), so each tab was redisplaying these 4 lines + the completion!

- Empty line
- A whol useless delimiter line ──────
- The time of execution (current time), directory, git branch.
- number of jobs, last error number green or red, actual prompt string: >

A workaround was to use PROMPT_FUNCTION='_prompt', and in the prompt function, there were a call to printf, that has the advantage to:

- Permit to print a right prompt;
- Permit to print some string anywhere in the terminal, like at the top, to display the path, time, etc there instead of bloating the prompt;
- Set the terminal window title;
- Is not redisplayed after each completion;
- Can catch the last exit job.

I removed the ──────. Following <a href="http://github.com/dcat/swm">dcat screen</a> and z3bra advises, I removed even the path, and now, and it is as small as this:

<img src="http://i.imgur.com/whozZpC.png">

A bit like gurhush but still with a newline for clarity, and darthlukan, but with colors to indicate the different states rather than strings. I use the same in my <code><a href="http://blog.z3bra.org/2013/11/plain-old-mails.html">.mailrc</a></code>.

To get colors in the bash completion, you can ad this readline option in you .inputrc:

<pre>set colored-stats on</pre>
