UNMAINTAINED: I don't use MSYS2 anymore so I don't maintain this project anymore. If you want to use shellder, consider the alternatives below:

1. powerlevel10k
   • Lowest latency. Utilizes async tasks and gitstatusd.
   • Only for ZSH
   • Not suits with MSYS2 or Cygwin since it's a big shell scripts. (But who uses MSYS2/Cygwin while we have WSL2?)
2. starship
   • Higher latency than powerlevel10k, but still it's faster than most shell themes.
   • Compatible with many shell environments (i.e. Powershell, bash, tcsh, fish, ...)
   • No slowdown in MSYS2 or Cygwin since it's a Rust binary not a shell script.

shellder

1. No solarized ― xterm256 colors are beautiful enough
2. zsh + fish support
3. Speed ― Carefully optimized for slow environments like MSYS2

 

Installation

You can install shellder via various plugin managers.

Zsh, zinit

# ~/.zshrc
zinit light simnalamburt/shellder

Fish, chips

# ~/.config/chips/plugin.yaml
github:
- simnalamburt/shellder

Fish, oh-my-fish

# ~/.config/chips/plugin.yaml
github:
- simnalamburt/shellder

 

Configuration

You can turn off Fish-like path shrinking by adding the following to your ~/.zshrc:

# ~/.zshrc
export SHELLDER_KEEP_PATH=1

To control path shrinking in fish shell, set fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length or fish_prompt_pwd_full_dirs environment variable. See prompt_pwd for the further details.

 

Fonts

You'll need a powerline patched font. If you don't have one, download one or patch some fonts on you own.
