# A plugin to shrink directory paths for brevity and pretty-printing
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
For this directory tree:
|
|
```
|
|
/home/
|
|
me/
|
|
foo/
|
|
bar/
|
|
quux/
|
|
biz/ # The prefix b is ambiguous between bar and biz.
|
|
```
|
|
here are the results of calling `shrink_path <option> /home/me/foo/bar/quux`:
|
|
```
|
|
Option Result
|
|
<none> /h/m/f/ba/q
|
|
-l|--last /h/m/f/ba/quux
|
|
-s|--short /h/m/f/b/q
|
|
-t|--tilde ~/f/ba/q
|
|
-f|--fish ~/f/b/quux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
For a fish-style working directory in your command prompt, add the following to
|
|
your theme or zshrc:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
setopt prompt_subst
|
|
PS1='%n@%m $(shrink_path -f)>'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
-f, --fish fish simulation, equivalent to -l -s -t.
|
|
-l, --last Print the last directory's full name.
|
|
-s, --short Truncate directory names to the first character. Without
|
|
-s, names are truncated without making them ambiguous.
|
|
-t, --tilde Substitute ~ for the home directory.
|
|
-T, --nameddirs Substitute named directories as well.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The long options can also be set via zstyle, like
|
|
```
|
|
zstyle :prompt:shrink_path fish yes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: Directory names containing two or more consecutive spaces are not yet
|
|
supported.
