Punctual, a Zsh prompt theme

Add a bit of flavour to your prompt! My personal Zsh prompt theme, influenced heavily by denysdovhan's Spaceship theme.

Features

Customisable colours & output
Git branch & status display
Username turns red when root
Prompt turns red if the last command finishes with non-zero exit code

Installation

In the screenshot above I'm using Solarized colours for iTerm2, along with the Inconsolata font.

Oh My Zsh

Download punctual.zsh-theme into your custom theme directory, $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes
Update ZSH_THEME="punctual" in your ~/.zshrc
Open a new terminal to see the theme

Antigen

Include the following line to ~/.zshrc as part of your antigen setup (after any configuration settings).

antigen theme dannynimmo/punctual-zsh-theme punctual

Configuration

By setting variables before loading the theme, you can customise the output format of Punctual.

Hiding parts

Set any of the following variables to "false" to hide the output.

PUNCTUAL_SHOW_BLANK_LINE="false";
PUNCTUAL_SHOW_TIMESTAMP="false";
PUNCTUAL_SHOW_USER="false";
PUNCTUAL_SHOW_HOSTNAME="false";
PUNCTUAL_SHOW_CURRENT_DIR="false";
PUNCTUAL_SHOW_GIT="false";

Colours

Set any of the following variables to one of the 8 ANSI colour names.

PUNCTUAL_TIMESTAMP_COLOUR="red";
PUNCTUAL_USER_COLOUR="green";
PUNCTUAL_ROOT_USER_COLOUR="yellow";
PUNCTUAL_HOSTNAME_COLOUR="blue";
PUNCTUAL_CURRENT_DIR_COLOUR="magenta";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_COLOUR="cyan";

Possible values are:

black
red
green
yellow
blue
magenta

white

Bold fonts

Set any of the following variables to "true" to use the terminal's bold font.

PUNCTUAL_TIMESTAMP_BOLD="true";
PUNCTUAL_USER_BOLD="true";
PUNCTUAL_ROOT_USER_BOLD="true";
PUNCTUAL_HOSTNAME_BOLD="true";
PUNCTUAL_CURRENT_DIR_BOLD="true";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_BOLD="true";

Timestamp format

Set the below variable to customise the timestamp format. See man strftime for format options.

PUNCTUAL_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT="%l:%M%P";

Prompt symbol

Set the below variable to your favourite prompt symbol (or emoji 😅).

PUNCTUAL_PROMPT="$";

Git status symbols

If you already have your ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_* variables set, Punctual will respect those. Alternatively, set the following variables to customise the Git status symbols.

PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_UNTRACKED="?";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_ADDED="+";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_MODIFIED="!";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_RENAMED="!";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_DELETED="!";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_STASHED="*";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_UNMERGED="M";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_AHEAD="↑";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_BEHIND="↓";
PUNCTUAL_GIT_SYMBOL_DIVERGED="~";

Python environments

The Python environment being used (conda or virtualenvironment) will be added if the following flag is set to true (false by default) in your .zshrc:

PUNCTUAL_SHOW_PYTHON_ENVIRONMENT=true

For conda, run the following command to disable the prompt that appears at the start of the line by default:

conda config --set changeps1 False

```zsh
And similarly for python virtual environments you can add (either of) the following commands to your .zshrc to disable the prompt:
       
```zsh
export VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1;
export PYENV_VIRTUALENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1;
