How can I show the last (1 or 2) path instead of full directory? about agnoster-zsh-theme HOT 3 CLOSED

See the "Shell State" section of the Prompt Expansion page in the Zsh reference manual.

You can stick a number between the % and ~ to limit the number of trailing path elements that are displayed. So, you could do:

  prompt_segment blue black '%2~'

to get the last two elements of the current directory.

See also the prompt-pwd function in Prezto. It does more advanced prompt "compaction", abbreviating all but the last path element with a single letter, so you still have more context about where you are.

step 1. open your .zshrc file by vim .zshrc

step 2. go to the end of your file.

Paste this code:

prompt_dir() {
  prompt_segment blue $CURRENT_FG '%c'
}
