## What it is
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
