Spaceship prompt

Show your active Driverforge context (the selected organization and controller) right in your shell prompt, the way Spaceship shows the git branch or the Azure subscription:

~/drivers/acme-thermostat  on  main  󰢛 acme/living-room

The section reads only the local context file (driverforge org current / driverforge device current; no network), renders asynchronously so it never blocks your prompt, and disappears entirely when no organization is selected.

Install​

Save the snippet below as ~/.config/spaceship/driverforge.zsh, then in your ~/.zshrc, after Spaceship is initialised:

source ~/.config/spaceship/driverforge.zsh

and add driverforge to your prompt order:

SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ORDER=( dir git driverforge line_sep char )

# Driverforge — active org/device section for the Spaceship prompt.

Options​

Override any of these in ~/.zshrc before sourcing the file:

VariableDefaultEffect
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_SHOWtruefalse hides the section entirely
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_SHOW_DEVICEtruefalse shows only the org, never the controller
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_PREFIXusing Text before the section (matches Spaceship's Azure section)
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_SYMBOL󰢛 (anvil)Section symbol: see the font note below
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_DEVICE_SEPARATOR/Separator in org/device
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_COLOR#79C0FFSection colour (any zsh %F value: ANSI index or #rrggbb)
SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_COMMANDdriverforgeBinary to query: point at a dev build if you have one

Font note​

The default symbol is the Material Design anvil glyph (nf-md-anvil, U+F089B), which needs a full Nerd Font: a plain Powerline font (including plain Fira Code) only carries the Powerline glyphs and will show a missing-glyph box. Either install one:

brew install --cask font-fira-code-nerd-font   # then select "FiraCode Nerd Font" in your terminal

or override the symbol with an emoji, which renders anywhere:

SPACESHIP_DRIVERFORGE_SYMBOL="🛠️ "
