Option to make prompt 1 line

[iamajvillalobos]

Is it possible to have an option to be like this? https://github.com/DFurnes/purer.

This comes up quite often actually. As I said a few times here before I personally would like to always stick to the original pure theme since the main idea of this project is to be a 1:1 from zsh to fish. If this is an option on the official theme (can you please check?) we can definitely look into supporting it (PRs welcome) but if not I'd like to stay out of it.

[iamajvillalobos]

No :), I respect your decision still. Thank you for your efforts on this one. I'm closing this now.

[rafaelrinaldi]

Thank you for your suggestion. If you have anything else you would like to see in the project please feel free to open an issue.

Hi @rafaelrinaldi, I found that the original Pure theme does in fact support this. Would you be willing to reconsider? I would like to at least try it out for a bit and see how it feels. A branch would be great, even if you don't want to publish it as part of an official release.

I re-open this as it's indeed a feature of the zsh version.

Temporary Solution

You can test this by modifying fish_prompt.fish#L5 to not print newline, by adding a -n flag:

- echo -e (_pure_prompt_first_line) # print current path, git branch/status, command duration
+ echo -e -n (_pure_prompt_first_line) # print current path, git branch/status, command duration

Long-term Solution

1. Add tests for required feature (can happen last if you are un-familiar with TDD) ;
2. Create a flag in config/pure.fish, e.g. pure_enable_single_line_prompt (default to false) ;
3. Alter the behavior in fish_prompt.fish#L5 based on flag (I prefer printf over echo for such thing) ;

@sholladay Would you be kind enough to submit a PR? You'll need

[sholladay]

Yes, I will explore making a PR for this.

[rafaelrinaldi]

@sholladay Thanks for chiming in. I’d be more than happy to review a PR for this.

How can I support you with this ticket, @sholladay, @rafaelrinaldi?

[sholladay]

I still intend to submit a PR for this when time allows. It's kind of low on my list, though, so if you're on the fence about working on it, don't wait for me. :)

That said, if someone were able to tackle step 1 and make a failing test case, I could certainly get to it sooner.

Hi, just wanted to mention that Tide can do this. Just run Tide's configuration wizard and select the Pure style.

Other advantages of Tide:

• Significantly more configurable
• Much faster (~4x) outside of git repos
• Multi-line right prompt
• Extensible

[NickHu]

Tide was quite buggy when I tried it so I'd still value someone adding this here

Zsh Pure put everything before the prompt symbol ❯ I'm going to implement it like this.
