A fork of the Powerline-inspired eriner & agnoster theme.

The aim of this theme is to only show you relevant information. Like most prompts, it will only show git information when in a git working directory. However, it goes a step further: everything from the current user and hostname to whether the last call exited with an error to whether background jobs are running in this shell will all be displayed automatically when appropriate.

What does it show?

• Status segment:
  • ✘ when there was an error.
  • ⚡ when you're root.
  • ⚙ when there are background jobs.
  • r when you're in a ranger spawned shell.
  • Python venv indicator.
  • username@hostname when in a ssh session.
• Short working directory segment.
• Git segment (background color varies if working tree is clean or dirty):
  • Current branch name, or commit short hash when in 'detached HEAD' state.
  • ± when in a dirty working tree.

Settings

The background color for each segment can be customized with an environment variable. If the variable is not defined, the respective default value is used.

Variable	Description	Default value
STATUS_COLOR	Status segment color	black
PWD_COLOR	Working directory segment color	blue
CLEAN_COLOR	Clean git working tree segment color	green
DIRTY_COLOR	Dirty git working tree segment color	yellow

Requirements

In order for this theme to render correctly, a font with Powerline symbols is required. A simple way to install a font with Powerline symbols is to follow the instructions here.

Requires Zim's git-info module to show git information.
