Description
Dynamic 'R' Prompt.
Description
Set the 'R' prompt dynamically, from a function. The package contains some examples to include various useful dynamic information in the prompt: the status of the last command (success or failure); the amount of memory allocated by the current 'R' process; the name of the R package(s) loaded by 'pkgload' and/or 'devtools'; various 'git' information: the name of the active branch, whether it is dirty, if it needs pushes pulls. You can also create your own prompt if you don't like the predefined examples.

Dynamic R Prompt
Set the R prompt dynamically, from a function. The package contains some examples.
Examples
This is prompt_fancy() and it has
- The status of the last command (success or failure).
- The amount of memory allocated by the current R process.
- The name of the R package being developed using devtools.
- Name of the active git branch.
- State of the git working tree (needs pushes, pulls, and/or dirty).
A powerline clone, that also shows the system load average and the current working directory.
Installation
Install the package from CRAN, as usual:
install.packages("prompt")
Usage
Use one of the pre-defined prompts, as on the screenshots, or create your own. You can set the prompt in your .Rprofile. Maybe you only want to do this in interactive mode:
if (interactive()) prompt::set_prompt(prompt::prompt_fancy)
or the powerline prompt:
if (interactive()) prompt::set_prompt(prompt::new_prompt_powerline())
