Features

Git Prompt

This theme features a sleek and functional prompt that displays important information about your current working directory and command history.

When you are in a Git repository, two symbols - '⠾' and '⡶' - will be displayed in bright colors and combined together to indicate that the directory is linked to Git. The bright colors represent the current status of the Git repository.

Conversely, when you are outside of a Git repository, the symbols will appear smaller and grayed out, indicating that you are disconnected from Git.

This simple yet effective feature will help you keep track of your Git repositories at a glance, without having to manually check each time. Give the avoleo theme a try and see how it can improve your Zsh experience!

Additionally, the theme also displays the return code of the last command executed as 0 ↵ at the right end of the prompt to indicate whether the command was successful or not.
