# Pure
> Pretty, minimal and fast ZSH prompt
<img src="screenshot.png" width="864">
## Overview
Most prompts are cluttered, ugly and slow. I wanted something visually pleasing that stayed out of my way.
### Why?
- Comes with the perfect prompt character.
Author went through the whole Unicode range to find it.
- Shows `git` branch and whether it's dirty (with a `*`).
- Indicates when you have unpushed/unpulled `git` commits with up/down arrows. *(Check is done asynchronously!)*
- Prompt character turns red if the last command didn't exit with `0`.
- Command execution time will be displayed if it exceeds the set threshold.
- Username and host only displayed when in an SSH session.
- Shows the current path in the title and the [current folder & command](screenshot-title-cmd.png) when a process is running.
- Support VI-mode indication by reverse prompt symbol (Zsh 5.3+).
- Makes an excellent starting point for your own custom prompt.
## Install
Can be installed with `npm` or manually. Requires Git 2.0.0+ and ZSH 5.2+. Older versions of ZSH are known to work, but they are **not** recommended.
### npm
```console
$ npm install --global pure-prompt
```
That's it. Skip to [Getting started](#getting-started).
### Manually
1. Either…
- Clone this repo
- add it as a submodule, or
- just download [`pure.zsh`](pure.zsh) and [`async.zsh`](async.zsh)
2. Symlink `pure.zsh` to somewhere in [`$fpath`](https://www.refining-linux.org/archives/46-ZSH-Gem-12-Autoloading-functions.html) with the name `prompt_pure_setup`.
3. Symlink `async.zsh` in `$fpath` with the name `async`.
#### Example
```console
$ ln -s "$PWD/pure.zsh" /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/prompt_pure_setup
$ ln -s "$PWD/async.zsh" /usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/async
```
*Run `echo $fpath` to see possible locations.*
For a user-specific installation (which would not require escalated privileges), simply add a directory to `$fpath` for that user:
```sh
# .zshenv or .zshrc
fpath=("$HOME/.zfunctions" $fpath)
```
Then install the theme there:
```console
$ ln -s "$PWD/pure.zsh" "$HOME/.zfunctions/prompt_pure_setup"
$ ln -s "$PWD/async.zsh" "$HOME/.zfunctions/async"
```
## Getting started
Initialize the prompt system (if not so already) and choose `pure`:
```sh
# .zshrc
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt pure
```
## Options
| Option | Description | Default value |
| :------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :------------- |
| **`PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME`** | The max execution time of a process before its run time is shown when it exits. | `5` seconds |
| **`PURE_GIT_PULL=0`** | Prevents Pure from checking whether the current Git remote has been updated. | |
| **`PURE_GIT_UNTRACKED_DIRTY=0`** | Do not include untracked files in dirtiness check. Mostly useful on large repos (like WebKit). | |
| **`PURE_GIT_DELAY_DIRTY_CHECK`** | Time in seconds to delay git dirty checking when `git status` takes > 5 seconds. | `1800` seconds |
| **`PURE_PROMPT_SYMBOL`** | Defines the prompt symbol. | `` |
| **`PURE_PROMPT_VICMD_SYMBOL`** | Defines the prompt symbol used when the `vicmd` keymap is active (VI-mode). | `` |
| **`PURE_GIT_DOWN_ARROW`** | Defines the git down arrow symbol. | `⇣` |
| **`PURE_GIT_UP_ARROW`** | Defines the git up arrow symbol. | `⇡` |
## Colors
As explained in ZSH's [manual](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html#Character-Highlighting), color values can be:
- A decimal integer corresponding to the color index of your terminal. If your `$TERM` is `xterm-256color`, see this [chart](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Xterm_256color_chart.svg).
- The name of one of the following nine colors: `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white`, and `default` (the terminals default foreground)
- `#` followed by an RGB triplet in hexadecimal format, for example `#424242`. Only if your terminal supports 24-bit colors (true color) or when the [`zsh/nearcolor` module](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-zsh_002fnearcolor-Module) is loaded.
Colors can be changed by using [`zstyle`](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-zsh_002fzutil-Module) with a pattern of the form `:prompt:pure:$color_name` and style `color`. The color names, their default, and what part they affect are:
- `exec_time` (yellow) - The execution time of the last command when exceeding `PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME`.
- `git:arrow` (cyan) - For `PURE_GIT_UP_ARROW` and `PURE_GIT_DOWN_ARROW`.
- `git:branch` (242) - The name of the current branch when in a Git repository.
- `git:branch:cached` (red) - The name of the current branch when the data isn't fresh.
- `host` (242) - The hostname when on a remote machine.
- `path` (blue) - The current path, for example, `PWD`.
- `prompt:error` (red) - The `PURE_PROMPT_SYMBOL` when the previous command has *failed*.
- `prompt:success` (magenta) - The `PURE_PROMPT_SYMBOL` when the previous command has *succeded*.
- `user` (242) - The username when on remote machine.
- `user:root` (default) - The username when the user is root.
- `virtualenv` (242) - The name of the Python `virtualenv` when in use.
The following diagram shows where each color is applied on the prompt:
```
path
| git:branch
| | git:arrow
| | | host
| | | |
~/dev/pure master* ⇡ zaphod@heartofgold 42s
venv | |
| | | exec_time
| | user
| prompt
virtualenv
```
### RGB colors
There are two ways to use RGB colors with the hexadecimal format. The correct way is to use a [terminal that support 24-bit colors](https://gist.github.com/XVilka/8346728) and enable this feature as explained in the terminal's documentation.
If you can't use such terminal, the module [`zsh/nearcolor`](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Modules.html#The-zsh_002fnearcolor-Module) can be useful. It will map any hexadecimal color to the nearest color in the 88 or 256 color palettes of your termial, but without using the first 16 colors, since their values can be modified by the user. Keep in mind that when using this module you won't be able to display true RGB colors. It only allows you to specify colors in a more convenient way. The following is an example on how to use this module:
```sh
# .zshrc
zmodload zsh/nearcolor
zstyle :prompt:pure:path color '#FF0000'
```
## Example
```sh
# .zshrc
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
# optionally define some options
PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=10
# change the path color
zstyle :prompt:pure:path color white
# change the color for both `prompt:success` and `prompt:error`
zstyle ':prompt:pure:prompt:*' color cyan
prompt pure
```
## Tips
In the screenshot you see Pure running in [Hyper](https://hyper.is) with the [hyper-snazzy](https://github.com/sindresorhus/hyper-snazzy) theme and Menlo font.
The [Tomorrow Night Eighties](https://github.com/chriskempson/tomorrow-theme) theme with the [Droid Sans Mono](https://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/droid-sans-mono) font (15pt) is also a [nice combination](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/blob/95ee3e7618c6e2162a1e3cdac2a88a20ac3beb27/screenshot.png).<br>
*Just make sure you have anti-aliasing enabled in your terminal.*
To have commands colorized as seen in the screenshot, install [zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting).
## Integration
### [oh-my-zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh)
1. Set `ZSH_THEME=""` in your `.zshrc` to disable oh-my-zsh themes.
2. Follow the Pure [Install](#install) instructions.
3. Do not enable the following (incompatible) plugins: `vi-mode`, `virtualenv`.
**NOTE:** `oh-my-zsh` overrides the prompt so Pure must be activated *after* `source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh`.
### [prezto](https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto)
Pure is bundled with Prezto. No need to install it.
Add `prompt pure` to your `~/.zpreztorc`.

Pure is bundled with Zim. No need to install it.
Set `zprompt_theme='pure'` in `~/.zimrc`.
### [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen)
Update your `.zshrc` file with the following two lines (order matters). Do not use the `antigen theme` function.
```sh

```
### [zplugin](https://github.com/zdharma/zplugin)
Update your `.zshrc` file with the following two lines (order matters):
