Remember current directory

[andradei]

Is Promptastic remembering the current directory when a new tab or window is opened? Or is it always putting the user on home?

I'll look into it when I have more time, I'll make a PR if appropriate.

This is a feature related to the specific terminal emulator, not to Promptastic. The only thing Promptastic does is colouring the prompt; it can not access any info about other tabs and their current dir.

Talking about terminal emulators, I did some tests:

• iTerm and Terminal for Mac OS X does not support this feature;
• GNOME Terminal for Ubuntu does: say the current directory in the active tab is /foo/bar and you open a new tab, then the new tab will be at /foo/bar

The good news is that Promptastic works well with all of them.

Thanks to @andradei's fix, the situation now is:

• Terminal for Mac OS X supports this feature: say the current directory in the active tab is /foo/bar and you open a new tab, then the new tab will be at /foo/bar;
• iTerm for Mac OS X does not support this feature;
• GNOME Terminal for Ubuntu does.
