Style#

Style sets the way the path is displayed. Based on previous experience and popular themes, there are 5 flavors.

  • agnoster
  • agnoster_full
  • agnoster_short
  • full
  • folder
  • mixed

Agnoster#

Renders each folder as the folder_icon separated by the folder_separator_icon. Only the current folder name is displayed at the end, $HOME is replaced by the home_icon if you're inside the $HOME location or one of its children.

Agnoster Full#

Renders each folder name separated by the folder_separator_icon.

Agnoster Short#

When more than 1 level deep, it renders one folder_icon followed by the name of the current folder separated by the folder_separator_icon.

Full#

Display $PWD as a string.

Folder#

Display the name of the current folder.

Mixed#

Works like Agnoster Full, but for any middle folder short enough it will display its name instead. The maximum length for the folders to display is governed by the mixed_threshold property.
