compress-path

---

Compress and abbreviate the parts of a pathname into a shorter overall string; for use within a Zsh prompt. Adds some minor styling, such as bold text for the last path section (the current directory).

Setup

Download and extract compress-path to your $PATH. Then, add the following to your .zshrc:

export PS1='$(compress-path) >'

If you're using oh-my-zsh, edit your ~/.oh-my-zsh/your-theme.zsh-theme and modify the prompt_dir (or similar) function to look something like this:

prompt_dir() {
  prompt_segment blue $CURRENT_FG $(compress-path)
}
