ohmyzsh/plugins/pathfmt/pathfmt.plugin.zsh

# provides a function `path_format` that displays the current working directory (on right side)
# in different formats based on the value of the variable PATHFMT_MODE.
#
# Supported formats:
#   - absolute:  full absolute path (default).
#   - user:      Replaces your $HOME with your username (e.g. "ubuntu/dir..").
#   - host:      Displays as "user@hostname:/path", using ~ for home when applicable.
#
# Configure the mode in your ~/.zshrc, e.g.:
#   PATHFMT_MODE="host"
#   plugins=(... pathfmt ...)
#
# and re-load config with source ~/.zshrc


# default=user
: ${PATHFMT_MODE:=user}
