Prompt Overview

  • ✓ (green) if clean
  • ✱ (yellow) if dirty repository
  • + (green) for staged files
  • ~ (yellow) for modified files
  • - (red) for deleted files
  • » (light blue) for renamed files
  • ═ (red) for unmerged conflicts
  • ? (cyan) for untracked files
  • ↑ (cyan) if ahead of remote
  • ↓ (cyan) if behind remote
• Prompt Symbol – Shows ❯ in cyan for success and red for failure.
• Multiline Continuation – Uses a subtle vertical line (│) for continued commands instead of the default quote> prompt.
