`auraline` is a utility that renders information into a string suitable to be embedded
in the shell prompt. It is written in Rust.
Build
-----
To build the package run the following commands:
```bash
cargo install --path .
```
This will build and install the binary `auraline` in the Cargo bin directory (e.g., `~/.cargo/bin/`).
Building auraline Statically
-----------------------------
To statically build auraline, you can use the following command:
```bash
RUSTFLAGS='-C target-feature=+crt-static' cargo build --release
cargo install --path .
```
This command will instruct Cargo to build auraline with static linking, which will create a static binary.
The binary will include all necessary dependencies, making it more self-contained and easier to distribute.
Usage
-----
```text
Usage: auraline [OPTIONS]
Options:
-p, --path <PATH> Specify a path where to run the line ($PWD by default)
-t, --theme <THEME> Specify the theme color
-s, --short-mode Enable short mode
-f, --fast Fast mode
-n, --nerd-font Use Nerd Fonts
-h, --help Print help
-V, --version Print version
```
Theme Color
-----------
The `--theme` option allows you to customize the color of the prompt. You can use one of the predefined color names or a true color value.
### Predefined Colors
You can use any of the following predefined color names:
- `black`
- `red`
- `green`
- `yellow`
- `blue`
- `magenta`
- `cyan`
- `white`
- `purple`
- `bright_black`
- `bright_red`
- `bright_green`
- `bright_yellow`
- `bright_blue`
- `bright_magenta`
- `bright_cyan`
- `bright_white`
Example:
`auraline --theme red`
### True Color
You can also specify a true color value in the format `r,g,b`, where `r`, `g`, and `b` are integers from 0 to 255.
Example:
`auraline --theme 128,0,128`
Nerd Fonts
----------
The `-n` or `--nerd-font` option enables the use of Nerd Fonts for icons and symbols in the prompt.
Make sure you have a Nerd Font installed and configured in your terminal for the symbols to render correctly.
Bash
----
To use it with bash, configure the shell prompt as follow:
`PS1='\u@\h :: \[\033[1;32m\]\w\[\033[0m\] $(~/.cargo/bin/auraline --theme blue -n)\n-> '`
Zsh
---
For zsh, try the following configuration in .zshrc:
```zsh
autoload -U colors && colors
setopt promptsubst
local git_prompt='$(~/.cargo/bin/auraline --theme blue -n)'
PS1="%{$fg[green]%}%n@%m %{$fg[blue]%}%c ${git_prompt} %# "
```
Fish
----
For fish shell, define the following function in
~/.config/fish/functions/fish`_prompt.fish:
```fish
function fish_prompt --description 'Write out the prompt'
set -l last_status $status
set -l git_prompt (~/.cargo/bin/auraline --theme blue -n)
if not set -q __fish_prompt_normal
set -g __fish_prompt_normal (set_color normal)
end
# PWD
set_color $fish_color_cwd
echo -n (prompt_pwd)
set_color normal
printf '%s ' "{$git_prompt}"
if not test $last_status -eq 0
set_color $fish_color_error
end
echo -n '$ '
end
```
