Oh My Zsh mercurial-prompt plugin

Super simple and fast implementation of hg_prompt_info for Oh My Zsh

Does only one thing (for now) and does it pretty good: prints current mercurial branch name without lags.

Current oh-my-zsh plugin is slow and all alternative PRs (1, 2) stuck for years waiting for review.

Instalation

• Clone this repository
• Setup ZSH_CUSTOM variable in your .zshrc. This variable should be exported.
• add mecrurial-prompt to plugins in your .zshrc
• Switch to a theme which uses hg_prompt_info.

Or, customize the $PROMPT variable of your current theme to contain current folder mercurial repo info. This can be done by putting a custom version of the theme in $ZSH_CUSTOM or by changing $PROMPT in .zshrc after loading the theme. The robbyrussell theme is used by default, so you need to modify $PROMPT var by adding $(hg_prompt_info) after $(git_prompt_info), so it looks like this:

PROMPT='${ret_status}%{$fg_bold[green]%}%p %{$fg[cyan]%}%c %{$fg_bold[blue]%}$(git_prompt_info)$(hg_prompt_info)%{$fg_bold[blue]%} % %{$reset_color%}'

• Run install.sh from repository root
• Run source ~/.zshrc too apply changes.

Customization

You can change following variables to update prompt appearence:

• ZSH_PROMPT_BASE_COLOR default value "%{${fg_bold[blue]}%}"
• ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_TAG default value "hg"
• ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_PREFIX default value ":"
• ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_SUFFIX default value ""
• ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_BRANCH_COLOR default value "%{$fg_bold[magenta]%}"

Most of them follows original mercurial plugin names.

You can set ZSH_THEME_HG_PROMPT_USE_BOOKMARK="true" to use the current bookmark name instead of branch name.
