shell_prompt

This project provides a set of functions for shells (tested with BASH and ZSH) to modify their functionality without affecting the performance

Why to use it over oh-my-zsh

'oh-my-zsh' can slow down zsh shell. I didn't like the lag that oh-my-zsh caused to the shell, but I liked how it can show when you are in a directory that's a git repo. I wanted the similar behaviour - natively - without depending on python or something similar.

The benefit of using this over oh-my-zsh is that you can have the same behaviour for BASH too.

How to use this project?

It's very simple:

1. Download the the file on your system
2. Open your .bashrc or .zshrc (depending on the shell you use) and add the line source ~/shell_prompt. Be sure to give the full path for this file, or you'll find a weird behaviour.
3. Just add the functions from the file that you want to use. For example, if you want a git branch information on your prompt, just add $(git_prompt) to your PS1 (for BASH), PROMPT or RPROMPT (for ZSH) shell variable.

You can use any other function the same way, just call the function from the file and it will work.
