A disgustingly clean ZSH prompt

Based on the great pure theme by @sindresorhus and @mafredri, but with a few notable changes.

• Prompt character is green when previous command was successful, red when not.
• Git repo info shown in RPROMPT.
• Path is shown relative to git-root when in a repository.
• Current commit/tag shown if HEAD is detached.
• 'Initial' status is shown in a new repo
• User and host always shown in RPROMPT, green for standard users, red if privileged.
• Command execution time shows in ms if less than one second has elapsed.
• Temporary messages can be displayed in the pre-prompt, e.g. to show feedback after an asynchronous command has completed. Just echo the text you want to display to ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.promptmsg. The message is automagically cleared once shown.

Can be installed with npm or manually. Requires git 1.7.10+ and ZSH 4.3.17+.

(To show current tag/commit when head is detached, git 2.0.0+ is required. Otherwise it just shows 'no branch')

npm install --global filthy-prompt

That's it. Skip to Getting started.

zulu install filthy
zulu theme filthy

1. Either…

• Clone this repo
• add it as a submodule, or
• just download filthy.zsh

2. Symlink filthy.zsh to somewhere in $fpath with the name prompt_filthy_setup.

$ ln -s "$PWD/filthy.zsh" /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/prompt_filthy_setup

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 "$PWD/filthy.zsh" "$HOME/.zfunctions/prompt_filthy_setup"

Initialize the prompt system (if not so already) and choose filthy:

# .zshrc
autoload -U promptinit && promptinit
prompt filthy

The max execution time of a process before its run time is shown when it exits. Defaults to 5 seconds.

Prints a nice exit code in front of the prompt character when the previous command exited with a status not equal to 0

Prints the current value of $ZSH_VERSION in $RPROMPT

Do not show relative paths when $PWD is within a git repository

# .zshrc

autoload -U promptinit && promptinit

# optionally define some options
FILTHY_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=10

prompt filthy

Base16 Ocean theme with the Nitti Light font (18pt) is a beautiful combination, as seen in the screenshot above. Just make sure you have anti-aliasing enabled in your Terminal.

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

1. Symlink (or copy) filthy.zsh to ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/filthy.zsh-theme
2. Add ZSH_THEME="filthy" to your .zshrc file.

Set zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme 'filthy' in ~/.zpreztorc.
