Separately styling the base directory and current folder in prompt Path

[KyleKing]

I really liked how my p10k prompt would show the full path while highlighting the current directory. I found a way to do that in oh-my-posh:

{
    "blocks": [
        {
          "foreground": "p:white",
          "properties": {
            "command": "((pwd | grep -q \"$HOME/\") && (dirname \"$PWD\" | sed -E \"s-^$HOME($|(/.*))-~\\2-\")) || true",
            "shell": "sh"
          },
          "style": "plain",
          "template": "{{ .Output }}/",
          "type": "command"
        },
        {
          "foreground": "p:blue",
          "style": "plain",
          "template": "{{ .Folder }} ",
          "type": "text"
        }
    ]
}

Would love to see if there is an easier or more efficient way to go about it

Interesting, let's create a style for this.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

with the change coming in #2601 you can do this:

{
    "foreground": "p:white",
    "properties": {
        "style": "folder"
    },
    "style": "plain",
    "template": " {{ .Parent }}/<p:blue>{{ .Path }}</> ",
    "type": "path"
}

That's awesome, thanks!!

Actually, there are subtle differences when using the absolute parent path:

• My version had my home directory replaced with ~
• And when used with .Path, .Parent needs to be '' to avoid collision with .Path

When I would have expected:

~ > ..
/Users > ..
/ > cd ~/Downloads
~/Downloads >

Would you be open to making changes to the .Parent so that maybe the template could be written like: "{{if .Parent }}/{{else}}<p:blue>{{ .Path }}</> "?

This was how I wrote .Parent in shell:

((pwd | grep -q "$HOME/") && (dirname "$PWD" | sed -E "s-^$HOME($|(/.*))-~\\2-")) || true

Thanks! I just got back from vacation and saw that you made the fixes (47265b1)!

Refactored Chezmoi config:

{
    "blocks": [
        {
          "foreground": "p:white",
          "properties": {
            "style": "folder"
          },
          "style": "plain",
          "template": "{{ .Parent }}<p:blue>{{ .Path }}</> ",
          "type": "path"
        }
    ]
}
