FISH_RIGHT_PROMPT(1)

🌸 fish_right_prompt — the manual page, but make it cute 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the fish-shell manual set (that's the manual name, slay) and it's literally all about fish_right_prompt. it's short. it's sweet. it's giving "small but mighty" energy. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

fish_right_prompt — the function that defines what your right-side command line prompt looks like 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

function fish_right_prompt
    ...
end

that's it. that's the whole shape of it. no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so fish_right_prompt is basically fish_prompt's sibling, right? same vibe, different side of the screen — it shows up on the right side of the terminal window instead of the left. iconic behaviour honestly.

⚠️ heads up bestie: multiple lines are not supported in fish_right_prompt. one line only. it's a one-line kinda girlie. don't try to make it a whole essay, it will not eat 💀

and here's a detail you actually need to know: if fish_transient_prompt is set to 1, then fish_right_prompt --final-rendering gets run before executing the commandline. so yeah, that flag is a real thing that happens in that situation — remember it, iykyk.

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

here's a simple right prompt, because sometimes simple ate and left no crumbs:

function fish_right_prompt -d "Write out the right prompt"
    date '+%m/%d/%y'
end

look at her go. a whole date stamp, chillin' on the right. 🎀

✨ Copyright ✨

the fish-shell developers made this. respectfully, kings and queens and everyone in between 👑

and that's the page fr fr! source + version + date for the sign-off: this is from fish-shell version 4.9, dated Sep 08, 2026 — so yeah, go set up a cute right prompt and make your terminal main character energy. 🦋✨💜
