.. _cmd-prompt_pwd:
prompt_pwd - Print pwd suitable for prompt
==========================================
Synopsis
--------
::
function fish_prompt
echo -n (prompt_pwd) '$ '
end
Description
-----------
``prompt_pwd`` is a function to print the current working directory in a way suitable for prompts. It will replace the home directory with "~" and shorten every path component but the last to a default of one character.
To change the number of characters per path component, set ``$fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length`` to the number of characters. Setting it to 0 or an invalid value will disable shortening entirely.
Examples
--------
::
>_ cd ~/
>_ echo $PWD
/home/alfa
>_ prompt_pwd
~
>_ cd /tmp/banana/sausage/with/mustard
>_ prompt_pwd
/t/b/s/w/mustard
>_ set -g fish_prompt_pwd_dir_length 3
>_ prompt_pwd
/tmp/ban/sau/wit/mustard
