Pure is a pretty, minimal, and fast ZSH prompt theme. It shows git branch status asynchronously, indicates command failures, and displays execution time while staying visually unobtrusive.

Use cases

  • make my zsh prompt minimal and fast
  • show git branch and dirty status in my terminal prompt
  • prompt that indicates when the last command failed
  • display command execution time in zsh
  • customize my shell prompt theme
  • show unpushed and unpulled git commits in the prompt

When to choose

  • you use ZSH and want a clean, fast prompt with git integration
  • you want a minimal prompt that stays out of your way
  • you want a good starting point for building your own custom prompt

When to avoid

  • you use bash, fish, or another shell instead of ZSH
  • you want a heavily customized, information-dense prompt out of the box
  • you need a cross-shell prompt framework
