Simple and fast zsh prompt based on gitstatus.

I oscillated between Starship and Powerlevel10k for my zsh prompt. Starship is customizable and visually appealing by default but has unnecessary features, making it slower. Powerlevel10k is extremely fast but has a complex configuration.

My goal was to create a prompt with only the essential functionality: detecting command failures and displaying basic git repository info. I avoided advanced customization to keep the code simple yet aesthetically pleasing.

Zunder-prompt combines Starship's style and Powerlevel10k's efficiency. It uses gitstatus (like Powerlevel10k) for optimized git info, ensuring instant responsiveness with no lag.

zinit light-mode depth"1" for \
  romkatv/gitstatus \
  warbacon/zunder-prompt

plug "romkatv/gitstatus"
plug "warbacon/zunder-prompt"

if ! zgenom saved; then
  # ...
  zgenom load romkatv/gitstatus
  zgenom load warbacon/zunder-prompt
  # ...
fi

zplug "romkatv/gitstatus", depth:1
zplug "warbacon/zunder-prompt", on:"romkatv/gitstatus", depth=1

As zunder-prompt is built with simplicity and speed in mind, there isn't too much customization available. However, you can change the prompt's character symbol and color.

ZUNDER_PROMPT_CHAR="➜"              # default value: "❯"
ZUNDER_PROMPT_CHAR_COLOR="green"    # default value: "fg"

• romkatv for gitsatus.
• Starship for inspiration.
