Usage

Install it:

pip install --user makeprompt

Put this in your ~/.zshrc:

autoload -Uz promptinit
promptinit
prompt off
setopt PROMPT_SUBST

PROMPT='$( ~/.local/bin/makeprompt )'

Features

• Display user/hostname/path using truecolor (24-bit) colors

• 8-bit color fallbacks, for terminals that don’t support truecolor

• git repository status information (branch, dirty)

• Python enabled virtualenv information

• Background (stopped) jobs count

Customize

The MAKEPROMPT_COLORS environment variable can be used to change colors of different parts of the prompt.

Format is similar to LS_COLORS, for example:

export MAKEPROMPT_COLORS='user=38;2;56;142;60:host=38;2;198;255;0'

A utility script is provided to conveniently generate TrueColor paletters from HTML hex colors.

For example:

python -m makeprompt.utils.make_truecolor_palette user='#808' host='#f0f' path='#ff0'

you can also use this in your shell configuration:

eval $( python -m makeprompt.utils.make_truecolor_palette ... )
export MAKEPROMPT_COLORS
