Well the obvious thing is echoing $?, but as we need this quite often we want to have it in our right prompt. Googling around a little bit, we found the solution:

In your .zshrc add the following line

RPROMPT='[%?]'

This will give you the last exit status on the right site of your shell.

My zsh now looks like this (with the additional stuff)

buenosaires:~/dev/c/git.git/>                                         (next)[1]

flattr this!
