Custom context chips

Dupe Check

• I have searched Warp feature requests and there are no duplicates

Describe the solution you'd like?

I would like the ability to add my own chips, or at least have more chips available.

I would love to see, tf, pulumi stack, node, and rust added to the list. Starship does this well.

Just want to mention I love the pills combined with the SSH agent, simply awesome.

Thanks for this feature request! We'd ultimately like to open up a way for custom or 3rd party context chips (pills). As a stopgap to this feature, Warp does support starship and other custom prompts listed here.

Thank you, I do have starship. It is not as good because it does not carry the prompt upstream to ssh client. You all knocked it out of the park.

Logging into my K8s master and instantly seeing my context AS I am typing command. Instead of it always cluttering my shell. Wow!!

Can you all do something similar for pulumi, when I start typing my pulumi command I would see the stack I am targeting?

Would love to see what AWS profile I have set too. This would be really helpful. I change the profile by setting AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE. This should always be shown because some tools use the AWS config that is loaded. Like pulumi for instance and bash scripts ect

node, python, rust should all be triggered by directory. For instance My node version is set per directory with Volta. You already have pyenv.

I think I read that warp was thinking of going open source. Would definitely comtribute to this feature myself.

Thanks for this feature request @agluck91! We could open up an API for this feature to allow for custom chips in the future.

I wish we could define custom chips using shell scripts, which could also define fg and bg colours of the output. For example, I want the @ character between the username and hostname to be red when connected to a remote, otherwise it should be in normal/default colour.

Moreover, I wish we could add literal text strings to the prompt, as some users might prefer different separators. For example, I want to add a static time in square brackets (e.g. [ 4.19pm]). Or I want to replace git:(branch) with [branch], as I don’t use any other VCS.
