Description¶
By defining the fish_prompt
function, the user can choose a custom prompt. The fish_prompt
function is executed when the prompt is to be shown, and the output is used as a prompt.
The exit status of commands within fish_prompt
will not modify the value of $status outside of the fish_prompt
function.
fish
ships with a number of example prompts that can be chosen with the fish_config
command.
Example¶
A simple prompt:
function fish_prompt -d "Write out the prompt"
printf '%s@%s%s%s%s> ' (whoami) (hostname | cut -d . -f 1) \
(set_color $fish_color_cwd) (prompt_pwd) (set_color normal)
end
