Description

Minimalist zsh theme with a % or # sign as the prompt terminator.

Below is a screen shot demonstrating all of the possible prompt states (excluding when running as root user, where the „%” at the end of the prompt changes to „#”).

Prior art

• The prompt is based on pi.zsh-theme by Toby Thomas.
• the get_pwd() function is a modified version of one by Shashank Mehta.

Installation instructions

Requirements

Error indicator is shown using a unicode emoji character - it was tested with Noto Color Emoji font. Git repository symbol uses Powerline glyph (0xe0a0) - make sure your monospace font can display it or change the character to your liking in the source.

Using zplug

• Clone the repository to chosen location (assuming ~/Src/zsh-theme-min-percent)

• Add zplug directive to load theme:

  zplug "~/Src/zsh-theme-min-percent", use:"min-percent.zsh-theme", from:local, as:theme

Using oh-my-zsh

• Clone the repository to chosen location (assuming ~/Src/zsh-theme-min-percent)

• Copy theme file so Oh-My-ZSH can find it:

  cp ~/Src/zsh-theme-min-percen/min-percent.zsh-theme ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/

• Set theme in your .zshrc, before sourcing Oh-My-ZSH:

  ZSH_THEME=min-percent
