  • How to configure ZSH shell to print a timestamp on the right hand side of the prompt line when executing a command? I don't want to display the time prior to executing a command.
  • Here's about how it should look like (just a very basic prompt for illustration):
  • ```zsh
  • [me@pc ~]$ echo Have you tried StreetComplete? [10:24:07]
  • Have you tried StreetComplete?
  • [me@pc ~]$
  • ```
  • Presumably something in `.zshrc` file should do the trick.

How to configure ZSH shell to print a timestamp on the right hand side of the prompt line when executing a command? I don't want to display the time prior to executing a command.

Here's about how it should look like (just a very basic prompt for illustration):

```zsh
[me@pc ~]$ echo Have you tried StreetComplete?                   [10:24:07]
Have you tried StreetComplete?
[me@pc ~]$
```

Presumably something in `.zshrc` file should do the trick.
