DMorrell Fish Theme

This is a theme for fish that focuses on staying out of the way while giving helpful information, in particular when working with Git.

Features

• Minimal base prompt.
• Indicates if previous command failed.
• Shows compact Git status with
  • the number of added, modified, and removed files, as well as the number of stashes;
  • the type and name of the current revision; and
  • indication whether a merge or rebase is happening.
• Gives visual indication when you're logged in via SSH, or logged in as anyone but the default user. Shows a bright red "!" if you are logged in as root.

Note: This theme is designed for a light-on-dark theme like Solarized but should work in a dark-on-light terminal with a few terminal color tweaks.

Installation

Install using Oh My Fish:

omf install https://github.com/reitzig/theme-dmorrell.git 
omf theme dmorrell

Set the list of default users by adding

set -g default_user "me" "buddy"

to your .config/fish/config.fish. Of course, this only makes sense if you use the same config across multiple accounts. You can also add the same line to your own fork of the theme.

Acknowledgements

• Derived from Chris Morrell's cmorrell. Hence the name, because d comes after c.
• Took some hints from Stefan Maric's bigfish, in particular about smart glyph choices for representing Git status.
• Grabbed some Git-related code from git_util.
