powerline-c

This is a simple and fast powerline for your shell, made in good old C.

No git integration, no plugins, just the fastest, simplest powerline you can ever imagine.

powerline-c is a rewrite of powerline-shell, inspired by powerline-go and by powerline-rs.

Why?

• Faster than any powerline because it's pure vanilla C.
• No need to download the Rust or Go runtime.
• Native.
• It's really really fast. You won't wait a millisecond.

Okay, where's the catch?

Well, there isn't. Except that there is no git functionnality or anything like that.

That would make it slow. And we don't want that.

So yeah. Enjoy!

Installation

You'll need CMake and a working C compiler. That's all.

git clone https://github.com/Myuujinn/powerline-c.git
cd powerline-c
cmake .
cmake --build .
sudo cmake --build . --target install

powerline-c will be installed in /usr/local/bin. Then add it to your shell.
