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)
  • I just use the default fish without any modifications.

    To be fair, I don’t use the terminal that often.

    Even for my homeserver, I access most stuff (containers, updates, etc.) graphically with CasaOS (a web interface), and as a more “casual” PC user, I work with the tools given by my DE. I don’t do much fancy stuff.

    And when I really need the CLI, fish is alright for me. It’s simple, has sane defaults, and feels (thanks to the automatically activated spell check and completion) very efficient for me.

    Bash isn’t bad, but feels a bit lackluster. Zsh may be better, but requires too much configuration for what it’s worth for me.
