This only a fork and not the original repo

there are some changes made requiring a special invocation to pass the errorcode and the information if we are in a ssh-connection or not, i do not support using this stuff for zsh and if you want to use my changes you need to add your own hostnames in the .py file

Powerline style prompt for Bash (and now, ZSH)

A Powerline like prompt for Bash/ZSH:

• Shows some important details about the git branch:
  • Displays the current git branch which changes background color when the branch is dirty
  • A '+' appears when untracked files are present
  • When the local branch differs from the remote, the difference in number of commits is shown along with '⇡' or '⇣' indicating whether a git push or pull is pending
• Changes color if the last command exited with a failure code
• If you're too deep into a directory tree, shortens the displayed path with an ellipsis
• Shows the current Python virtualenv environment
• It's all done in a Python script, so you could go nuts with it

Setup

• This script uses ANSI color codes to display colors in a terminal. These are notoriously non-portable, so may not work for you out of the box, but try setting your $TERM to xterm-256color, because that works for me.

• Patch the font you use for your terminal: see https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline/wiki/Patched-fonts

• Clone this repository somewhere:

    git clone https://github.com/milkbikis/powerline-shell
  

• Create a symlink to the python script in your home:

    ln -s <path/to/powerline-shell.py> ~/powerline-shell.py
  

  If you don't want the symlink, just modify the path in the commands below

• Now add the following to your .bashrc:

    function _update_ps1() {
       export PS1="$(~/powerline-shell.py $?)"
    }
  
    export PROMPT_COMMAND="_update_ps1"
  

• ZSH fans, add the following to your .zshrc:

    function powerline_precmd() {
      export PS1="$(~/powerline-shell.py $? --shell zsh)"
    }
  
    function install_powerline_precmd() {
      for s in "${precmd_functions[@]}"; do
        if [ "$s" = "powerline_precmd" ]; then
          return
        fi
      done
      precmd_functions+=(powerline_precmd)
    }
  
    install_powerline_precmd
  

• Fish users, redefine fish_prompt in ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

    function fish_prompt
        ~/powerline-shell.py $status --shell bare
    end
