Usage

zsh-transient-prompt's default prompt is zsh's default prompt. So simply installing and loading zsh-transient-prompt will not change anything.

At the very least, set the variable TRANSIENT_PROMPT_TRANSIENT_PROMPT (that's not a typo. The zsh-transient-prompt configuration variables are TRANSIENT_PROMPT_<key>). For example

.zshrc

shell

TRANSIENT_PROMPT_TRANSIENT_PROMPT='% '
# load zsh-transient-prompt here here

Terminal

shell

% echo transient prompt
transient prompt
% cd ~/my-git-repo
olets@olets.dev my-git-repo %

See the zsh prompt expansion documentation https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Doc/Release/Prompt-Expansion.html to learn about what dynamic information out-of-the-box zsh can display in prompts.

To add transient prompt support to your existing prompt, start by running typeset -m PROMPT. Then in .zshrc, set TRANSIENT_PROMPT_TRANSIENT_PROMPT to that value, in single quotations ('').
