Tide
Tide is an asynchronous shell prompt and Zsh theme designed to maintain interface responsiveness by computing high-latency data in the background. It functions as a context-aware command line that tracks active programming language versions, cloud infrastructure status, and command execution times.
The project includes an interactive prompt configurator that allows users to visually design layouts, color schemes, and behavior settings through a terminal-based wizard. It also features a transient prompt engine that collapses previous command lines to reduce terminal scrollback clutter.
The system provides integration for version control state, environment context such as root access and hostnames, and intelligent path truncation to maximize screen space. It further monitors development environment runtimes, background job counts, and editor modes.
Features
