Gokart Prompt 🏎

Blazing fast and slick shell prompt, written in Go

Installation 🚀

First download the archive for your platform from the latest release. Next, follow the steps for your terminal setup:

Oh My Zsh

Extract the archive to $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes:

tar xzvf gokart-prompt-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes"

Make sure to replace gokart-prompt-linux-amd64.tar.gz with the filename of the archive you downloaded.

Next, symlink gokart.zsh-theme in your $ZSH_CUSTOM/themes directory:

ln -s "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/gokart-prompt/gokart.zsh-theme" "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/gokart.zsh-theme"

Finally, set ZSH_THEME="gokart" in your .zshrc.

Bash

Extract the archive, for example to your $HOME directory:

tar xzvf gokart-prompt-linux-amd64.tar.gz -C "$HOME"

Make sure to replace gokart-prompt-linux-amd64.tar.gz with the filename of the archive you downloaded.

Finally, source gokart.bash-theme in your .bashrc:

source "$HOME/gokart-prompt/gokart.bash-theme"

Requirements ✅

Powerline or Nerd Font

To check if the font works, run:

echo -e "\xee\x82\xa0"

This should print a "branch" icon.
