Cmder-powerline-prompt

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:
screenshot

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.

Requirements

Download the AnonymousPro font
You'll be able to use any font in Cmder, but this font contains the symbols included in the prompt.

Font

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;
  • Save Settings

Usage

Download the .lua file, 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 cmder-powerline-prompt.lua <git-repo-folder-name>/cmder-powerline-prompt.lua 

Configuration

You can modify the prompt to display either the full path or only the folder name.
To do this, modify the value of the promptValue variable in the powerline_prompt.lua file at this line
The value could be either:

  • promptValueFull for full path like C:\Windows\System32
  • promptValueFolder for folder name only like System32

promptValueFull is the default.
