gimbo's zsh prompt theme

A zsh theme with lots of features, little eye candy, and a magic
context-sensitive extra line

This is my zsh prompt, a modification/extension of the purepower config for the powerlevel10k theme.

It's fairly minimal in terms of eye candy, focusing on showing the interesting data, with a smattering of colour (suitable for a dark background) to highlight important parts.

The main feature of note is probably the second line, which only appears in the presence of a python venv or git repo.

Structure

This is a two- or three-line prompt, depending on context. We have:

• First line:

• History number

• Time

• Context (i.e. username/hostname)

• Directory writable status

• Directory - in full

• Status of last command if it failed

• pyenv in use if not standard

• Second line - only shown if either of the following are present:

• Python virtualenv name

• Git info, consisting of:

• Repo name (i.e. name of folder containing .git folder)

• (A fixed ± separator)

• Branch name

• Dirtiness indicators

• Actual prompt line:

• Just a $ except if in vicmd mode (then it's a <)

• Green if last command succeeded; red otherwise.

• Right hand side:

• Command execution time

• Indicator if user is root

• Background jobs indicator
