FISH_DARCS_PROMPT(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the fish_darcs_prompt(1) page from the fish-shell manual, bestie — and fish_darcs_prompt is the function that outputs Darcs information for use in a prompt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

          function fish_prompt
               printf '%s' $PWD (fish_darcs_prompt) ' $ '
          end

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The fish_darcs_prompt function displays information about the current Darcs repository, if any. 🫶

Darcs (https://darcs.net/) must be installed. no cap.

The prompt always shows the VCS name — configurable via $fish_prompt_darcs_name, default darcs — as there are no branches/channels; it can be unset to remove it entirely. If the repository has unrecorded changes, status counts are shown for each change type:

• $fish_color_darcs_normal, default green — the prompt label color 💚
• $fish_color_darcs_rebasing, default yellow — used when a rebase is in progress 💛

To match Darcs’s logo green:

set fish_color_darcs_normal 72ff01

The Darcs status symbols:

• $fish_prompt_darcs_status_added, default +
• $fish_prompt_darcs_status_modified, default *
• $fish_prompt_darcs_status_removed, default -
• $fish_prompt_darcs_status_moved, default →
• $fish_prompt_darcs_status_untracked, default …
• $fish_prompt_darcs_status_conflict, default !

Colors for these symbols can be set with the corresponding variables ($fish_color_darcs_added & so on), which are unset by default so the terminal’s foreground color is used. 🎀

$fish_prompt_darcs_status_order can be used to change the order the status symbols appear in. It defaults to added removed modified moved conflict untracked.

See also fish_vcs_prompt <>, which will call all supported version control prompt functions, including Git, Mercurial, & Darcs.

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈
