## Installation

### System Requirements

- The **latest** version of [Fish][], currently 4.9.3. <sup><sub>[Using an older version of Fish?][]</sub></sup>
- A [Nerd Font][nerd fonts] installed and enabled in your terminal (for example the [recommended font](#fonts)).

Install with [Fisher][]:

```console

```

<details>
  <summary>Install manually</summary>

This script may not work for all use cases.

```fish
set -l _tide_tmp_dir (command mktemp -d)
curl https://codeload.github.com/ilancosman/tide/tar.gz/v6 | tar -xzC $_tide_tmp_dir
command cp -R $_tide_tmp_dir/*/{completions,conf.d,functions} $__fish_config_dir
fish_path=(status fish-path) exec $fish_path -C "emit _tide_init_install"
```

</details>

## Features

### Flexible

Using the [`items`][] list for each side of the prompt, you have full control of which and where prompt sections display.

### Extendable

If there isn't an item that fits your needs you can make your own (and hopefully submit a pull request) or ask for it to be made by opening an issue.

### Asynchronous Rendering

Tide runs everything in the background so that your prompt will always feel snappy.

![async][]

Asynchronous rendering also lets Tide display more information than other prompts. For example, most prompts don't display the number of untracked, modified, or deleted files in a git repository because it's too slow to compute.

### Current directory that just works

The current working directory is the most important part of any shell prompt. Tide highlights the critical parts and truncates with the least loss of information when horizontal space is scarce.

When the full directory doesn't fit, the leftmost segment is truncated to its shortest unique prefix. In the example above, `Documents` becomes `Doc` instead of `D` because that could be confused with `Downloads`. Important segments are bold and never truncated. These include the last segment,
