Dynamic R Prompt

Set the R prompt dynamically, from a function. The package contains some examples. The prompt on the screenshot has:

• The status of the last command (success or failure).
• The amount of memory allocated by the current R process.
• The name of the R package being developed using devtools.
• Name of the active git branch.
• State of the git working tree (needs pushes, pulls, and/or dirty).

Installation

Once on CRAN, install the package with:

install.packages("prompt")

Usage

Use the prompt_fancy prompt, as on the screenshot, or create your own.

library(prompt)
set_prompt(prompt_fancy)
