"github_readme_excerpt": "# Pure\n\n\u003e Pretty, minimal and fast ZSH prompt\n\n\u003cimg src=\"screenshot.png\" width=\"864\"\u003e\n\n## Overview\n\nMost prompts are cluttered, ugly and slow. We wanted something visually pleasing that stayed out of our way.\n\n### Why?\n\n- Comes with the perfect prompt character.\n Author went through the whole Unicode range to find it.\n- Shows `git` branch and whether it\u0027s dirty (with a `*`).\n- Indicates when you have unpushed/unpulled `git` commits with up/down arrows. *(Check is done asynchronously!)*\n- Prompt character turns red if the last command didn\u0027t exit with `0`.\n- Command execution time will be displayed if it exceeds the set threshold.\n- Username and host only displayed when in an SSH session or a container.\n- Shows the current path in the title and the [current folder \u0026 command](screenshot-title-cmd.png) when a process is running.\n- Support VI-mode indication by reverse prompt symbol (Zsh 5.3+).\n- Makes an excellent starting point for your own custom prompt.\n\n## Install\n\nCan be installed with `npm` (not `yarn`) or manually. Requires Git 2.15.2+ and ZSH 5.2+. Older versions of ZSH are known to work, but they are **not** recommended.\n\n### npm\n\n```sh\nnpm install --global pure-prompt\n```\n\nThat\u0027s it. Skip to [Getting started](#getting-started).\n\nIf `prompt -l` does not list `pure`, add this to your `.zshrc` before `promptinit`:\n\n```sh\nfpath+=(\"$(npm root -g)/pure-prompt\")\n```\n\n### [Homebrew](https://brew.sh)\n\n```sh\nbrew install pure\n```\n\nIf you\u0027re not using ZSH from Homebrew (`brew install zsh` and `$(brew --prefix)/bin/zsh`), you must also add the site-functions to your `fpath` in `$HOME/.zshrc`:\n\n```sh\nfpath+=(\"$(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions\")\n```\n\n### Manually\n\n1. Clone this repo somewhere. Here we\u0027ll use `$HOME/.zsh/pure`.\n\n```sh\nmkdir -p \"$HOME/.zsh\"\ngit clone https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure.git \"$HOME/.zsh/pure\"\n```\n\n2. Add the path of the cloned repo to `$fpath` in `$HOME/.zshrc`.\n```sh\n# .zshrc\nfpath+=($HOME/.zsh/pure)\n```\n\n## Getting started\n\nInitial",
