❯ _ typewritten - a minimal zsh prompt theme

Leaves all the room for what's important.

Terminal is iTerm2 — Font is JetBrains Mono — Terminal theme is Seoul256

Features

• Asynchronous git info
• Fully customizable
  • Colors for any of the prompt sections
  • Prompt layout
  • Prompt symbol
  • Constant display of git home directory
  • Cursor
  • Prefix on right prompt

Quick start

npm

npm install -g typewritten

That's it. The script will make the necessary symlinks to fpath and set the prompt in your .zshrc.

Manual

Clone the typewritten repository somewhere you can easily link. I recommend creating a .zsh directory at root.

mkdir -p "$HOME/.zsh"
git clone https://github.com/reobin/typewritten.git "$HOME/.zsh/typewritten"

Load typewritten in your .zshrc by using zsh prompinit:

fpath+=$HOME/.zsh/typewritten
autoload -U promptinit; promptinit
prompt typewritten

Other ways to install

Many other ways to install typewritten are available in the wiki

Customization

typewritten is customizable in many ways. To keep the readme file as lean as possible, the documentation was moved to the wiki.

The documentation is separated into two parts:

• Prompt customization, everything to do with how and where the info is displayed
• Prompt color customization, set a custom color for any of the prompt sections

Example of 3 customized typewritten prompts
