How to create a bash/zsh status bar on macOS
For zsh, just add this to your .zshrc file:
zmodload zsh/terminfo
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
statusbar () {
echoti sc # Save cursor position.
echoti home # Move cursor to top left of window.
# -n: Don't append a newline.
# -P: Expand prompt escape codes.
print -nP -- "[$( git branch --show-current 2> /dev/null )]($VIRTUAL_ENV)%n@%M:%~"
echoti el # Clear to end of line
echoti rc # Restore cursor position.
}
add-zsh-hook precmd statusbar # Call before each new prompt.
