candypaint

Candy coated prompts for the ion shell. Tested on Linux only, for now.

Installation

Use cargo. Note that ~/.cargo/bin must be on your PATH

cargo install --git https://gitlab.redox-os.org/coleman/candypaint.git

Then, add the following to ~/.config/ion/initrc

# use the "chad" theme as your prompt
fn PROMPT
    let tmp = "/tmp/candypaint"
    echo -n $(candypaint chad) > $tmp
    source $tmp
    echo -n $CANDY
end

In this example, candypaint writes a script to $tmp. That script exports a CANDY variable, our dynamically generated prompt. It must be sourced by ion to interpret the escape characters correctly.

Overview

This project aims to provide zero-config prompts for ion. Prompt modifications might get deeper integration into ion in the future, but until then we can use a dedicated tool to shell out to in our initrc.

Themes

We have 2 so far.

chad

darkside

A theme is simply a function that returns Option<String> built from your environment (your path, your git status, etc.).

Got an idea? See CONTRIBUTING.md to see how to add a prompt.
