A rust tool to create a customized Zsh prompt
- A working Rust (nightly) installation
- Some of the symbols used may require powerline [https://github.com/powerline/fonts]
The tool can be used to generate a Zsh prompt (in a similar form to Oh-My-Zsh themes).
The example in example.zsh-theme
runs the tool every time a prompt is needed,
but the output could also just be piped to a file to be used as-is
If you don't want to run this for every instance of Zsh, just clone the
repository and use cargo run -- [prompt configuration]
.
A series of info, each with a specfic color, and seperated by triangles
Configured by the parameter, formatted as

At this point in time, I do not have any real need to add features. If you think something is missing, open an issue, or maybe just code it yourself.
