A simple and clean prompt for the fish shell

This snippet shows an example of a simple and clean prompt for the fish shell. I first saw this snippet on the blog of Gerald Kaszuba, but it is not available anymore. You can install Tide (link below) for a full-featured prompt. I have used it for several weeks, and it is nice to use and easy to customize.
# Prompt #####################################################################
function fish_prompt -d "Write out the prompt"
printf "\033[K"
printf '[%s] %s@%s:%s%s%s$ ' (date "+%H:%M:%S") (whoami) (hostname) (set_color $fish_color_cwd) (pwd) (set_color normal)
end
