This is a custom prompt for Cmder (the alternative console emulator for Windows). There's also a PowerShell version of this prompt.
It looks like this:
It has a blue background for the prompt.
For folders with git repos, you get yellow background for changes, and green for clean repos.
I'm using Consolas font.
The look is inspired by Powerline for Vim, and Zsh's theme agnoster.
Those are some of the functionalities that you can get:
Download the AnonymousPro font
You'll be able to use any font in Cmder, but this font contains the symbols included in the prompt.
To use another font and still show symbols correctly:
- Go to Cmder Settings > Main
- Choose Main console font to be what you prefer
- Choose Alternative font to be Anonymice Powerline
- Modify the value of Unicode ranges to add:
E0A0; E0B0;(or other applicable font range - see your font map)- for extra symbols set in
powerline_config.lua(like npm logo for node module or git project for smart path resolving) set the Alternative font to one of your choosing (examples here were using http://vorillaz.github.io/devicons/#/main).
- for extra symbols set in
- Save Settings
Download the .lua files, and place it in %CMDER_ROOT%/config folder.
Restart Cmder to load the prompt.
Alternatively, if you want to maintain link with the original repo, you can clone this repo into any folder
git clone https://github.com/AmrEldib/cmder-powerline-prompt.git git-repo-folder-name
then create a symbolic link from the %CMDER_ROOT%/config folder to the .lua file.
cd %CMDER_ROOT%/config
mklink /H powerline_core.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_core.lua
mklink /H powerline_prompt.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_prompt.lua
To add Git prompt, add the Git file
mklink /H powerline_git.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/powerline_git.lua
To add Configurations, create a file named _powerline_config.lua that is a copy of the file _powerline_config.lua.sample
You can modify the prompt to display either the full path, the folder name or the smart path showing only local path below your current Git folder.
To do this, modify the value of the promptValue variable in the _powerline_config.lua setting powerline_config_prompt_type value.
The value could be either:
promptValueFullfor full path likeC:\Windows\System32promptValueFolderfor folder name only likeSystem32promptValueSmartfor folder.when in top of git projectC:\path\ProjectFromGit\
promptValueFull is the default.
By setting powerline_config_prompt_useHomeSymbol to true in both smart and full mode you can force to shorten path in home directories to ~.

Cmder configurations is stored in %CMDER_ROOT%\config\
You can add files to be loaded during startup in either of these folders
%CMDER_ROOT%\config\profile.d
%CMDER_ROOT%\config
Add a .ps1 file to be loaded for Powershell shells
Add a .bat or .cmd files to be loaded for Windows Command shells
Add a .sh file to be loaded for Bash shells
User-specific configurations should go into files named user-profile with extensions ps1, cmd/bat, or sh.
The file %CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\clink.lua sets the command prompt. See the function set_prompt_filter.
The prompt value is stored in clink.prompt.value
Drop .lua files into the %CMDER_ROOT%\Config folder to customize the prompt.
I published this code because it's not nice to keep it to myself. I fix problems that I encounter, and try to fix problems that others encounter if I have time.
This code is provided with the timeless Works on my Machine gurentee.
You can also check out the pull requests page for contributions that didn't make back into this repo. These are fixes to problems I didn't encounter, or features not useful to me, but maybe useful to you.
People are very kind and contribute back fixes and improvements.
This section is to acknowledage their contributions and thank them. If you find their contributions helpful to you, please take the time to thank them directly.
I'd like to thank all who share their code with everyone for their time and effort.
