arrowline - small shell prompt generator
========================================

Small shell (bash/zsh) prompt generator written in C. Can use powerline symbols.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tryone144/arrowline.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tryone144/arrowline)

Features
--------

- single executable, no external processes
- configurable with a header file (like dwm)
- powerline-style
- git branch name and status

Installation
------------

Arch Linux PKGBUILD included. Generate the `.tar.xz` and install (needs root privileges) with:

makepkg -i

Manual install:

git clone git://github.com/tryone144/arrowline.git
cd ./arrowline
make

Systemwide installation (as root) into `/usr/local/bin`:

make install

If you install by hand make sure that `git` is installed for git status support.

Configuration
-------------

All configuration takes place in `config.h`.

- Define the colors for the segments.
- Define the use of powerline symbols and escape chararcters
- Select which segments to show (NULL-terminated array of generators)

### Segment List

- *STATUS*: display red X if last command's exit status != 0
- *HOST*: display username and hostname
- *CWDPREFIX*: display the working directory prefix `home` `root` or `deep inside`
- *CWD*: display `CWD_LEN` (defaults to 3) folders of current working directory
- *VCS*`: display branch and status if current working dir is inside a version controlled directory

- currently only supports git

Using arrowline
---------------

### bash

Put into your `.bashrc`:

# arrowline prompt
function _update_ps1() {
export PS1="$( arrowline ${?} 2> /dev/null || echo 'arrowline failed! [\u@\h \W]\$ ' )"
}
export PROMPT_COMMAND=_update_ps1

KNOW ISSUES
-----------

- libgit2 updates seem to break the binary. A simple rebuild should be enough. See [this Issue](https://github.com/tryone144/arrowline/issues/2).

TODO
----

- zsh usage information
- add new segments
