#Owl's prompt

Basic prompt that's fairly small and fast. It's about 20 KiB, does not do heap allocation, and has no runtime dependencies (on Linux anyway).

#Features

• Git tree/index status, with various styles available.
• Sets terminal title to include the working directory.
• Communicates working directory to new terminal instances, if supported.
• Color theme can be changed; runtime theming might be supported at some point.
• Timestamp can be shown to the right of the prompt.
• Shows exit code of the last command if not 0.

Run zig build --help to see the available options.

#Building/installing

With a recent zig:

zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall --prefix ~/.local # or elsewhere in your $PATH

# build for zsh instead of bash, which is the default
zig build -Dshell=zsh -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall --prefix ~/.local

You can change the shell and prompt string with build options.

#Usage

In your .bashrc:

PS1="\$(prompt \$?)"

Examples for bash and zsh can be found in contrib.
