prompt_pwd - print pwd suitable for prompt
Synopsis
prompt_pwd
Description
prompt_pwd
is a function to print the current working directory in a way suitable for prompts. It will replace the home directory with “~” and shorten every path component but the last to a default of one character.
To change the number of characters per path component, pass --dir-length=
or set fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length
to the number of characters. Setting it to 0 or an invalid value will disable shortening entirely. This defaults to 1.
To keep some components unshortened, pass --full-length-dirs=
or set $fish_prompt_pwd_full_dirs
to the number of components. This defaults to 1, keeping the last component.
If any positional arguments are given, prompt_pwd
shortens them instead of $PWD.
Options
- -d or --dir-length MAX
-
Causes the components to be shortened to MAX characters each. This overrides
fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length
. - -D or --full-length-dirs NUM
-
Keeps NUM components (counted from the right) as full length without shortening. This overrides
fish_prompt_pwd_full_dirs
. - -h or --help
-
Displays help about using this command.
