grompt

makes your shell prompt not look like garbage. zero deps. one config file.

starship.rs is bloated garbage this is the antidote.

Install

curl -sSL https://codeberg.org/estebxn/grompt/raw/branch/master/install.sh | bash

or clone it and make build.

Config

first run generates ~/.config/grompt for you. override with $GROMPT_CONFIG or $CONFIG_PATH if you're fancy.

old grompt.json files still work.

Format

plain text, one segment per line. # for comments.

# env vars
$USER
# internal variables
{dir} # just the folder name
{pwd} # full path (~/foo/bar)
{spwd} # shortened path (~/f/bar)
{hostname}
{git_branch}
# colors and styles
fg:green # foreground (name or #hex)
bg:red # background
c:bold # style

# run stuff

# git conditionals
?clean ✓
?dirty ✗
# multiline conditionals
?dirty {
fg:red
✗
}
# text
@ # anything else is literal
\s # space
\t # tab
