I don’t understand why they market this as “minimal”. It’s got loads of features, and every time I see somebody use it they have a huge prompt with loads of bells and whistles.

My shell prompt is:

    : ▶

You don’t need an entire shell prompt customisation framework to be minimal.

You can make it as small as you want. Every single feature can be disabled. At the moment mine is relatively minimal

    $hostname\
    $shlvl\
    $directory\
