alt Hacker NewsI don’t understand why they market this as “minimal”. It’s got loads of features, and every time I see somebody use it they have a huge prompt with loads of bells and whistles.
My shell prompt is:
: ▶

You can make it as small as you want. Every single feature can be disabled. At the moment mine is relatively minimal
format = """

Yeah this isn't minimal, this is maximalism - more information, more characters. They should just embrace being a maximalist prompt.

Mine is an even thinner arrow.
# clean, simple, minimal
PROMPT='%{%F{red}%}%~ %{%F{yellow}%}% › %{%F{reset_color}%}%'
Compared to other shells and prompts, the configuration is really straightforward and minimal if you want something mildly complex.
