Swift Prompt

Prompt command executor built using Swift.

Features

Information Rich

It provides below information:

user login
host ip address
git status
whether we are tracking ("~" means we are tracking)

Non-blocking

The "swift_prompt_nanny" is a daemon meant for synchronizing your repository with remote. It kicks in every set amount of seconds (currently hard-coded 10s). Press "ENTER" to continue if you see a question mark blinking (shown in the demo below).

Usage

Add the following line to your shell application's resource file:

PROMPT_COMMAND="/path/to/swift_prompt" # make sure nanny is in the same folder
PS1 = "> " # or your favourate prompt script.

Note for Future Me

Use signal to automatically hand back control to shell.
Easier installation.
