The original
Tide

Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as Tide.
Starship
A shell prompt that shows the git branch, language version and other context, configured once and working in every shell.
Starship works across fish and many other shells with one TOML configuration, but lacks Tide's interactive wizard and its default prompt is busy.
Oh My Posh
Customize shell prompts across operating systems with configurable themes.
Oh My Posh provides themed prompts across several shells and operating systems, configured through themes rather than an interactive wizard.
