A Pure-inspired prompt for fish shell. It’s very similar to Pure, but not identical—it’s not intended to have feature parity.

• A clean, beautiful, and minimal prompt
• The perfect prompt character. Sindre Sorhus went through the entire unicode range to find it.
• Takes up two lines with a blank space preceding it. At first I thought this was weird but now I can’t imagine going back.
• Shows the working directory
• Shows the current git branch or revision
• Shows up/down arrows if you have unpushed/unpulled commits
• The prompt character turns red if the last command’s exit status is 1
• Shows the command duration

fish doesn’t have any kind of plugin system so you just have to download the file and save it as ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish.

Here’s a one-liner you can run.

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/funnell/pure.fish/master/fish_prompt.fish > ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish

To make it easier to update you can clone this repo and then symlink the prompt into place.

git clone https://github.com/funnell/pure.fish.git
ln -s ./pure.fish/fish_prompt.fish ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_prompt.fish
