The latest edition of my dotfiles. This time I tried to make the prompt as minimal as possible without omitting relevant informations. Both prompts, bash and zsh are looking identical, except that there is no version control prompt for bash. I'm also using defaults wherever possible, so customization is really easy.

Try it yourself: make try (requires docker)

• subshell level if > 0
• number of background jobs if > 0
• return code if non zero
• root username is red
• git branch/rebase,merge etc.
• duration of the last command
• since the prompt is generated by a small Rust program it's shell agnostic!

$ make try

• requires docker
• spins up a small alpine linux container

WARNING The installation will overwrite your original dots without confirmation!

$ make install

This also install rusty-prompt which requires the following build dependencies (for Raspbian/Ubuntu):

• cmake
• libssl-dev
• libssh2-1-dev

They can be named differently depending on your Linux distribution.

The repository also contains a small program that generates the output for xfce4's genmon panel plugin and requires go to build.

You can create a patch file of your custom dotfile settings:

$ ./patch.sh create

The install script will check if the patch file exists and apply them after a successful installation. You can also apply them manually by running: ./patch.sh apply.
