Options

Hometown Prompt is made almost entirely of Git Prompt Kit components. So almost all of configuration —color customization, symbol customization, dimming vs hiding inactive elements, the number of path segments shows, etc— is done by configuring through Git Prompt Kit. (Git Prompt Kit is bundled with Hometown Prompt, so no additional download is necessary.)

TIP

Read about Git Prompt Kit's options in the Git Prompt Kit's options documentation. And play with Hometown Prompt's options and Git Prompt Kit's options in the Hometown Prompt interactive demo!
