Hi. I’ve been using powerlevel10k for a long time, but a few days ago, I decided I wanted to customize it a bit. I opened the .p10k.zsh file, and I was shocked. It’s really massive, with TONS of options. I’ve been digging through for a few hours already, and it’s absolutely amazing how much you can customize it without actually programming anything. I was wondering what other people are using. So my questions are:
- Do you customize your shell prompt?
- If yes, do you use some framework or pre-made theme, or do you just configure it the vanilla way in your bashrc/zshrc/…
- How is your experiences with it so far?
- Share screenshot of your prompts, please (Sadly, my prompt is currently half done, so I can’t really share it)
When I hopped on the home manager train I enabled starship (since it was just a couple lines to add) and I’m very happy with it. It has a couple small things out of the box that I really want. Mostly, its trimming my path so it doesnt take the full width of my terminal. I have it set so it only prints the lowest 3 directories and it wont print any directory higher than the current git repo Im in. IMO i hate all the little emojis but that was very easy to remove/disable. Its a very clean experience, and straightforward config (toml if not using nix).
EDIT: here’s a pic of the path trimming. This is about as complicated as it gets. Also, I’m using catpuccin color scheme in urxvt.
