SPWD

Description

"spwd" (short for "Short Present Working Directory") is a program for presenting the current working directory within the width of the terminal. This can be used in the shell prompts, like bash, zsh, fish, etc. to maintain their beautiful appearance

Usage

spwd
# This will just output the current working directory within the width of the terminal
# The symbols "/.../" will be used for the cutting the part of the path

spwd <width>
# Replace <width> with any integer to explicitly specify the maximum allowable output length

Example

Two-line zsh prompt

get_available_width() { expr $(tput cols) - ${#USER} - ${#HOST} - 10; }
PROMPT=$'%F{blue}┌──($USER@$HOST)-[%F{white}$(spwd $(get_available_width))%F{blue}]\n└─$suffix%f '

One-line zsh prompt

get_available_width() { expr \( $(tput cols) - ${#USER} - ${#HOST} - 10 \) / 2; }
PROMPT=$'%F{blue}($USER@$HOST)-[%F{white}$(spwd $(get_available_width))%F{blue}] $suffix%f '
