# 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.
|
||
- 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` and `async.zsh`
|
||
|
||
2. Symlink `pure.zsh` to somewhere in [`$fpath`](http://www.refining-linux.org/archives/46/ZSH-Gem-12-Autoloading-functions/) with the name `prompt_pure_setup`.
|
||
|
||
3. Symlink `async.zsh` in `$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
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME`
|
||
|
||
The max execution time of a process before its run time is shown when it exits. Defaults to `5` seconds.
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_GIT_PULL`
|
||
|
||
Set `PURE_GIT_PULL=0` to prevent Pure from checking whether the current Git remote has been updated.
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_GIT_UNTRACKED_DIRTY`
|
||
|
||
Set `PURE_GIT_UNTRACKED_DIRTY=0` to not include untracked files in dirtiness check. Only really useful on extremely huge repos like the WebKit repo.
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_GIT_DELAY_DIRTY_CHECK`
|
||
|
||
Time in seconds to delay git dirty checking for large repositories (git status takes > 2 seconds). The check is performed asynchronously, this is to save CPU. Defaults to `1800` seconds.
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_PROMPT_SYMBOL`
|
||
|
||
Defines the prompt symbol. The default value is `❯`.
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_GIT_DOWN_ARROW`
|
||
|
||
Defines the git down arrow symbol. The default value is `⇣`.
|
||
|
||
### `PURE_GIT_UP_ARROW`
|
||
|
||
Defines the git up arrow symbol. The default value is `⇡`.
|
||
|
||
## Example
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# .zshrc
|
||
|
||
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
|
||
|
||
# optionally define some options
|
||
PURE_CMD_MAX_EXEC_TIME=10
|
||
|
||
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://fonts.google.com/specimen/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. Symlink (or copy) `pure.zsh` to `~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/pure.zsh-theme`.
|
||
2. Symlink (or copy) `async.zsh` to `~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/async.zsh`.
|
||
3. Set `ZSH_THEME="pure"` in your `.zshrc` file.
|
||
|
||
Or skip the `oh-my-zsh` integration above and simply:
|
||
|
||
1. Set `ZSH_THEME=""` in your `.zshrc` to disable oh-my-zsh themes.
|
||
2. Follow the Pure [Install](#install) instructions.
|
||
|
||
### [prezto](https://github.com/zsh-users/prezto)
|
||
|
||
Pure is bundled with Prezto. No need to install it.
|
||
|
||
Set `zstyle ':prezto:module:prompt' theme 'pure'` in `~/.zpreztorc`.
|
||
|
||
### [zim](https://github.com/Eriner/zim)
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
antigen bundle mafredri/zsh-async
|
||
antigen bundle sindresorhus/pure
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### [antibody](https://github.com/getantibody/antibody)
|
||
|
||
Update your `.zshrc` file with the following two lines (order matters):
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
antibody bundle mafredri/zsh-async
|
||
antibody bundle sindresorhus/pure
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### [zplug](https://github.com/zplug/zplug)
|
||
|
||
Update your `.zshrc` file with the following two lines:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
zplug mafredri/zsh-async, from:github
|
||
zplug sindresorhus/pure, use:pure.zsh, from:github, as:theme
|
||
```

||
## FAQ
|
||
|
||
### My preprompt is missing when I clear the screen with Ctrl+L
|
||
|
||
Pure doesn't register its custom *clear-screen* widget if it has been previously modified. If you haven't registered your own zle widget with `zle -N clear-screen custom-clear-screen` it might have been done by third-party modules. For example `zsh-syntax-highlighting` and `zsh-history-substring-search` are known to do this and they should for that reason be **the very last thing** in your `.zshrc` (as pointed out in their documentation).
|
||
|
||
To find out the culprit that is overriding your *clear-screen* widget, you can run the following command: `zle -l | grep clear-screen`.
|
||
|
||
### I am stuck in a shell loop in my terminal that ask me to authenticate. What should I do ?
|
||
|
||
[This is a known issue](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/issues/76).
|
||
Using `git pull` when you get the username prompt should help you to break the loop by giving you a real prompt for this. **[This has been fixed in git 2.3](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/commit/f43ab97e1cf4a276b7a6e33eac055ee16610be15)**
|
||
|
||
### I am seeing the error `zpty: can't open pseudo terminal: bad file descriptor`.
|
||
|
||
[This is a known issue](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/issues/117). `zsh/zpty` requires either legacy bsd ptys or access to `/dev/ptmx`. Here are some known solutions.
|
||
|
||
#### Gentoo
|
||
|
||
```console
|
||
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'SANDBOX_WRITE=\"/dev/ptmx\"' > /etc/sandbox.d/10zsh"
|
||
$ sudo emerge -1 zsh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
#### FreeBSD 10.1
|
||
|
||
On a default setup, running the command `kldload pty` should do the trick. If you have a custom kernel, you might need to add `device pty` to the configuration file ([example](https://github.com/nbari/freebsd/blob/58646a9c3c4aaabf6f6467ff505f27f09e29dc75/kernels/xen.kernel#L188)).
