> Right, so your prompt is composed of nothing but the hardcoded character `>`
Hey that's what mine is! Actually it is simply the ')' character. I went from full on prompt-porn to nothing. For the most part this was just to see how much of the prompt I really needed on a daily basis (how often do I really type git branch because I don't know what branch I'm on, how often do I type pwd... stuff like that). Turns out I rarely use those commands, but to each their own.
It's an interesting approach! I want to try it in combination with some custom 1-or 2-letter command that would display all this 'prompt-porn' in a single line on demand.
Maybe a 1 or 2-letter indicator on what host I am (e.g. nothing for local, P for production, C for cluster head...), got confused too often.
