I made a new Oh My Zsh theme called goroutine.
It started with the built-in apple theme as a reference, but I wanted something closer to Go’s practical style: bright, minimal, and focused on the context that matters while working.
The prompt shows the current directory, detected runtimes, and Git context in a single line. Command input is intentionally left unprefixed.
What it detects
- macOS and supported Linux distributions, when using a Nerd Font
- Go projects through
go.mod - Python projects through common environment and dependency files
- Node.js projects through
package.json, lockfiles, and version files - The current Git branch and a tag when it points exactly to
HEAD
Runtime versions follow a fixed order: Go, Python, then Node.js.
Install
Clone the repository, then symlink the theme into Oh My Zsh’s custom themes directory:
Set it in .zshrc:
ZSH_THEME="goroutine"Restart the shell or run:
Configuration
The theme enables its contextual segments by default:
GOROUTINE_SHOW_OS_LOGO=1
GOROUTINE_SHOW_RUNTIMES=1
GOROUTINE_SHOW_GIT_TAG=1
GOROUTINE_PROMPT=''
ZSH_THEME="goroutine"Set a GOROUTINE_SHOW_* variable to 0 to hide that segment. GOROUTINE_PROMPT can append a small custom label to the prompt.
The theme requires a Nerd Font for operating system icons.
