FANCY ZHSRC PROMPT

This repository contains my customized zshrc configuration, inspired by the Kali Linux terminal setup.

Features

• Customized Prompt: The prompt is designed to be visually appealing and functional.

• Python-centric: As I primarily code in Python, this configuration includes a helpful cd() function.

  • The cd() function automates the activation and deactivation of virtual environments.

  • When navigating into a directory containing a virtual environment (./env), it automatically activates the environment.

  • If already in a virtual environment and navigating out of it, the function deactivates the environment.

    • For Python developers like me, navigating through project directories can be a frequent task. That's why I've added a handy feature to the cd() function:

    function cd() {
      builtin cd "$@"
    
      if [[ -z "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ]] ; then
        ## If env folder is found then activate the virtualenv
        if [[ -d ./env ]] ; then
          source ./env/bin/activate
        fi
      else
        ## check if the current folder belongs to an earlier VIRTUAL_ENV folder
        # if yes, do nothing
        # else, deactivate
        parentdir="$(dirname "$VIRTUAL_ENV")"
        if [[ "$PWD"/ != "$parentdir"/* ]] ; then
          deactivate
        fi
      fi
    }

  With this function, whenever you change directories, it automatically activates a virtual environment if it finds one in the env folder. This saves you the hassle of manually activating it every time you switch projects.
