How to add timestamp on right hand side of ZSH / iTerm2 terminal prompt?
Raw
zsh-timestamp.md

Add the following snippet at the bottom of ~/.zshrc file.

Option 1 - Just time

RPROMPT='[%D{%L:%M:%S}] '$RPROMPT

Option 2 - Date and time

RPROMPT="[%D{%f/%m/%y} | %D{%L:%M:%S}]"

When you are done, run $ source ~/.zshrc to see the effect. If it doesn't work, quit iTerm2 and open it again.

Just FYI, this doesn't have anything to do with iTerm2. It has its own timestamp feature that works independently of the shell prompt.

RPROMPT="[%D{%m/%f/%y} | %D{%L:%M:%S}]" for the US date format.
