I had to dig in also.
It’s a tool that will change your shell prompt (bash, fish, or zsh) to include information about your environment and project details (Stuff like repo status, dev environment setup, unusual user, etc).
Back in the day, we used to do this sort of thing with magic character sequences interpreted by the shell in shell variables, but things like git integration and python virtual_environment support have apparently pushed it over the edge into a separate tool for some people.
Hope that helps.
