Custom Prompt for zsh in macOS Big Sur
Raw
zshrc_custom_prompt.md

ZCH seem to be the default shell for MacOs BigSur Terminals Which means that the old bash commands to beautify the terminal prompts are outdated. Here is a fresh new prompt for ZSH Terminal

Steps

  1. touch ~/.zshrc
  2. copy and paste from line 10 of this file
  3. save the .zshrc file
  4. run source ~/.zshrc
#!/bin/zsh

# Load version control information
autoload -Uz vcs_info
precmd() { vcs_info }

# Format the vcs_info_msg_0_ variable
zstyle ':vcs_info:git:*' formats '%F{8}⤞ %f%F{166}%b%f'
 
# Set up the prompt (with git branch name)
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
PROMPT='%F{166}%n%f%F{8} in%f %F{33}%1~%f ${vcs_info_msg_0_} 
%F{10}$%f '
