Prompt #

Omarchy ships with a completely minimal prompt by default. It's just an arrow! That's how I like to keep my prompt. I don't need to know the user, because it's always me, and I don't need to know the time, because it's always at the top. I also don't need a reminder of the current directory, because I went there, and on the odd chance I forget, pwd will remind me.

But that's just me! Many people — maybe even most people! — prefer a prompt with more information and maybe even some flash and color. If you're one of those people, you have some great choices.

Starship.rs lets you design a prompt with all sorts of information, like the git commit status of a directory, the programming language version, and a million other variables. There's a lot you can do. Just don't go overboard (or do go overboard, do whatever you want, it's your computer!)

Oh My Posh is another popular prompt builder that's also heavily focused on providing themes. Again, there are a million ways you can set it up. Really room to go crazy here!

If any of those strike you as too much, and all you want is a reminder of the current directory, just edit ~/.bashrc and uncomment this line PS1="\W \[\e]0;\w\a\]$PS1".
