Bart et al -
I've used prompt bart for as long as I can remember. But I'm an ISO date
kind of guy, and I'd like to use %D{%Y-%m-%d} to get a four-digit year.
I've grovelled through the source code, but I can't figure out how to make
the change. Is there an easy way to do what I want?
Thanks,
Vin

Nice to know somebody else does. :-)

It's this line in prompt_bart_ps1:
date="%{$fg[%D]%}%D$rs" # Prefer "%{$fg[%D]%}%W$rs" in the USA?
Just change to
date="%{$fg[%D]%}%D{%Y-%m-%d}$rs"
If changing in real time in an interactive shell (e.g. with zed -f),
you then have to re-run prompt_bart_ps1

Excellent! Thanks. I copied prompt_bart_setup and changed the appropriate
line.
In the spirit of being greedy and improving the UX, how would you
parameterize this; how would you support US/normal/ISO date formats
(looking at the comment) in the same function?
Best,
Vin

I suppose the right way would be to add additional zstyles within the
:prompt-theme context. The command line for "prompt [name] ..." is
already overloaded in a way that is not easily extensible.
