NOTE: screenshot uses nerd font with devicons, this is not required.

spaceship prompt is pretty good... but it was getting a bit sluggish for my liking. So I made this slimmed down version which does all the heavy lifting in D.

ldc is required to build due to the use of some non standard complier flags.

The prompt can be built using

make
make install

You will need to source the generated searocket.zsh file from your .zshrc. By default /usr/share/searocket/searocket.zsh, see Build flags section for details.

echo ".  /usr/share/searcoket/searocket.szh" >> ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc"

All configuration is done at compile time by enabling different compilation flags.

Features can be enabled by modifying the UTILS and INTEGRATIONS arrays in config.mk.

Enabling more features will cause the prompt to be slower, but this is not very perceptible.

• UTILS
  • dir
    • Print current directory
  • exitcode
    • Print what last command exited with (if it's not 0)
  • user
    • Print username
  • jobs
    • Is there a background job running
  • took
    • How long did the previous command take
• INTEGRATIONS
  • bun
  • d
  • elixir
  • elm
  • git
  • go
  • nix
  • nodejs
  • python
  • zig
• FEATURES
  • timing
    • Total execution time for the prompt.
    • For debug only
  • nogc
    • Do not collect memory
    • I was unable to measure any performance difference when using this option
• Currently unsupported:
  • battery
  • docker
  • haskell
  • java
  • julia
  • php
  • ruby
  • rust
  • swift
  • xcode

See configOpts.md for the full list.

searocket will be installed to ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin/searocket.

searocket.zsh file will be installed to ${DESTDIR}${ZSH_FILE_LOCATION}/searocket.zsh.

If MODE is set to DEBUG, builds in debug mode. This enables all Features, utilities and integrations (even the unsupported ones). Produces better errors if the prompt crashes. Runs a bit slower.

If TESTING is specified, running the searocket executable will run the tests, rather than produce a prompt.
