alt Hacker NewsI live in the terminal, so I wrote my own prompt ages ago when I started learning Go[1][2], and before that I had a simple prompt in bash.
I like to keep things very simple and fast, so the directory and the git branch is all I need. I wonder if people really use all that information or if they set it up thinking they need it, but then never do.

[2]: I should probably update that now that I know a “bit” more Go.
The only thing I add is the time (hh:mm:ss), it's often-ish useful to roughly know how long a command has been running for (or how long it took after it completed)
