refined-magic (oh-my-zsh theme)

• 

A minimal, fast prompt that blends the layout of the Refined theme with the vibrant color palette of AF-Magic.

• Structure: Based on Refined's vcs_info logic, repo info line, exec-time display, and prompt glyph.
• Colors: Adopted from AF-Magic (with a couple of custom tweaks).
• Extras: An adaptive underscore divider line above the prompt. Untracked files are counted as "dirty".

Preview (description)

• A gray underscore bar spans the full terminal width.
• The next line shows repo/path info in cyan and blue, with a dirty mark when applicable.
• Command exec time (if > 5s) appears in orange.
• The prompt char is magenta, turning red on non-zero exit status.

Features

• Adaptive divider: Full-width underscore line in gray.
• Repo info: Clean vcs_info summary with branch and state.
• Dirty indicator: * appended when the repo is dirty, including untracked files.
• Exec time: Only shows when the last command took >5 seconds.
• SSH context: Right prompt shows user@host when connected via SSH.

Color map

These are ANSI 256 color indices used by the theme:

• Gray (divider, RPROMPT user@host): FG[237]
• Cyan (repo/path): FG[032]
• Light blue (VCS system and branch): FG[075]
• Orange (dirty mark and exec time): FG[214]
• Magenta (prompt carat): FG[105]
• Light pink (available for customization): FG[218]

Note: Colors are provided by oh-my-zsh's color helpers ($FG, $fg, %{$reset_color%}) which are available to themes by default.

Differences from upstream themes

• Structure from Refined: Uses vcs_info, preexec/precmd, and the ❯ prompt glyph; shows exec time when >5s.
• Colors from AF-Magic: Applies AF-Magic-inspired colors to path, VCS, divider, and status markers.
• Divider line: Adds a full-width underscore line above the repo info.
• Dirty detection: Counts untracked files as “dirty” (via git status --porcelain).
• No Python env segment: Intentionally removed after experimentation in this repo.

Installation (oh-my-zsh)

I. Copy the theme file into your oh-my-zsh custom themes directory:

mkdir -p "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes"
cp refined-magic.zsh-theme "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/"

II. Set the theme in ~/.zshrc:

ZSH_THEME="refined-magic"

III. Apply it:

source ~/.zshrc

Alternative: Symlink from this repo

If you keep this repository elsewhere, symlink instead of copy:

mkdir -p "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes"
ln -s /absolute/path/to/refined-magic/refined-magic.zsh-theme "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/refined-magic.zsh-theme"

Customization

Git info blue

In repo_information() adjust FG[075] to a different 256-color index (e.g., FG[081], FG[082], FG[087], FG[123]).

Divider character

Replace local underscores=${(l:$COLUMNS::_:)} with a different character, e.g. - or ·.

Exec time threshold

In cmd_exec_time(), the 5 controls when the time appears.

Notes

• The theme uses vcs_info (autoloaded by zsh) and standard Git commands for dirty checks.
• Works best with a terminal that supports 256 colors and a font with the prompt glyph ❯.
