ha. mine is: ~> although it gets progressively richer with heightened context, e.g: username if not my account hostname if ssh'ing basename(pwd) (not full path) if not ~ HEAD value (ref or sha) if in git or hg literal rebase & al for stateful git operation in progress any of ! ≠ ± (untracked, unstaged, and staged changes) any of literal nix venv when entering specific contexts at some point I had it as simple as > but some situations had me wish I knew context right away so I progressively added these each time I had a "fuck, I made a mistake and I would not have if I had that bit of context" I thought I'd go all the way to ; plan9 rc-style which made sense because "select whole line then paste and run" just works. plus it looks like a wink. I do have colours in a few select areas, but very limited, so that when there are colours they are very meaningful. notably the prompt segments are colour coded by meaning since they're dynamic. my vim theme looks like e-ink, merely getting fancy with a shade of gray for comments (which at some point could be reverted so thar comments get the "focus" and code is toned down, very literal programming) oh and please: no right prompt, ever (or $COLUMNS-wide left prompt) as it gets wild when resizing; no freaking emoji in my output (e.g I still have that HOMEBRE_NO_EMOJI env var set to an expletive of sorts even though I don't use homebrew anymore)
