Dynamic bash prompt

[jardahrazdera]

This enhancement replaces the simple default bash prompt with a dynamic, theme-aware prompt that automatically adapts to any Omarchy theme.

Features

• Dynamic color extraction - Automatically reads colors from alacritty.toml
• Light/dark theme support - Detects light.mode files and adjusts text brightness
• Git integration - Shows current branch and status with visual indicators
• Universal compatibility - Works with all themes without requiring additional theme files
• Performance optimized - Caches colors and only updates when theme changes
• Fallback support - Gracefully handles missing color definitions

How It Works

• Dynamic color extraction from alacritty.toml using pattern matching
• Theme change detection via symlink monitoring with caching for performance
• Light/dark mode adaptation based on light.mode file presence
• Git status integration with visual indicators for branch and working directory state

Installation

The prompt can be enabled by adding this line to your .bashrc:

# Load Omarchy dynamic prompt
source ~/.config/omarchy/default/bash/prompt

Prompt Format

╭─[ user@hostname ]─[ /current/path ] main✓
╰─❯❯❯ 

Visual Elements

• Borders and arrows - Frame and navigation elements
• Username section - [ user@hostname ]
• Path section - [ /current/path ]
• Git branch indicator - Shows current branch name
• Git status symbols:
  • ✓ - Clean working directory
  • ✗ - Uncommitted changes
  • + - Staged changes
• Prompt character - Final ❯❯❯ input indicator

Benefits

• Consistent theming - Prompt colors always match your current Omarchy theme
• No maintenance - Automatically works with new themes as they're added
• Enhanced workflow - Git integration helps with development tasks
• Performance focused - Minimal overhead compared to complex prompt frameworks

What This PR Does

Adds a dynamic, theme-aware bash prompt that automatically adapts to Omarchy themes.

Problem Solved

• Current bash prompt is very minimalistic and could be more informative
• No git integration in the terminal prompt for development workflows
• Limited visual elements compared to Omarchy's rich theming capabilities

Changes Made

• Created default/bash/prompt with dynamic color extraction
• Integrated with existing theme switching mechanism
• Added git status indicators with visual symbols
• Optimized for performance with color caching
• Works with all existing themes without requiring theme modifications

Testing

• Tested with dark themes (Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, etc.)
• Tested with light themes (Catppuccin Latte, etc.)
• Verified git integration works correctly
• Confirmed performance impact is minimal
• Tested fallback behavior with missing configs
• Verified compatibility across different terminal sizes

Thanks for working on this, but I prefer a super minimal prompt. But this would be a good Omarchy plugin or command that builds on top of it. Please do explore that!
