lean
A minimal, one-line ZSH prompt that shows only essential information and stays out of your way.
What is lean?
Lean is a minimal, one-line ZSH prompt that evolved from the 'pure' prompt to offer a cleaner, single-line interface. It displays only essential information like the current directory, git status, and background jobs, utilizing the right side of the terminal to keep the left prompt sparse. The goal is to reduce visual clutter while providing context when needed.
ZSH users who prefer a minimalist terminal experience, especially those transitioning from multi-line prompts like 'pure' or seeking a configurable, unobtrusive prompt.
Developers choose Lean for its balance of minimalism and functionality—it stays out of the way by default but reveals key details (like git dirty status or SSH indicators) precisely when they're relevant, all in a single line.
