Pure is a pretty, minimal, and fast prompt theme for the Fish shell, ported from sindresorhus's zsh prompt of the same name. It is distributed as a Fisher plugin and is highly customizable via universal variables, showing context like git status, SSH sessions, command duration, and Kubernetes context.

Use cases

• make my fish shell prompt minimal and fast
• show git branch and dirty status in fish prompt
• fish prompt that turns red when a command fails
• display kubernetes context in my shell prompt
• show command duration in fish shell
• port of pure zsh prompt for fish
• customize fish prompt colors and symbols
• show python virtualenv in fish prompt

When to choose

• you use Fish shell >=3.x and want a clean, fast, minimal prompt
• you want git, SSH, vi-mode, AWS, Kubernetes, and container context indicators in your prompt
• you want a prompt configurable through simple universal variables
• you like the aesthetics of sindresorhus/pure for zsh but use Fish

When to avoid

• you use bash or zsh rather than Fish shell (use the original pure for zsh)
• you want a heavyweight prompt with powerline/nerd-font segments and themes
• you cannot or do not want to use the Fisher plugin manager
• you need deep framework-specific integrations beyond what pure exposes
