I use tmux locally even though I run i3 as my window manager. Mostly because I configured tmux to show the current directory and git branch (if in a git directory) so I can keep my prompt a clean "$".
My trick is all the directory, date, git junk in my prompt is separated by a newline and then $, so when I copy and paste my shell somewhere, I can just drop those lines easily without having to do fine selection.
That seems like a lot of wasted space to me. The benefit of putting it into tmux is it only shows in 1 place. I don't need to see the git branch and folder of the location where I ran my previous commands, I just need to see where I am at right now.
Do you ever need to know how long a command takes? And if you ever need it is it really worth a full line for every command that is ran. And it shows the time that the prompt is printed right? It doesn't show the time your command is executed if I am correct.
I guess you can hit enter before every command is entered to get the correct time but that is a lot of wasted space!
Maybe I'm getting too minimalist but I don't see the benefit to productivity in these over the top prompts.
