Tide is a prompt theme for the Fish shell that provides a customizable command-line interface with a focus on visual clarity and functionality.
The tool addresses the need for an informative yet visually appealing shell prompt by offering a modular design where users can enable or disable individual prompt segments based on their workflow. Rather than forcing a fixed set of information, Tide allows developers to compose their prompt from components like git status, command execution time, and directory information, displaying only what matters for their specific use case.
Tide suits developers working with the Fish shell who want a modern prompt without the complexity of building one from scratch. It works best for those who value visual feedback about their environment and git state while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance. The tool is particularly useful for developers who switch between different project types and need flexible prompt configuration rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
The project shows consistent maintenance with regular updates addressing user-reported issues and feature requests. Development activity demonstrates responsiveness to community feedback, with fixes and improvements being incorporated steadily. The codebase receives ongoing refinement to improve reliability and expand configuration options. The maintainer actively engages with users to understand their needs and incorporates suggestions that align with the project's design philosophy.
