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)
  • @pete_the_cat@lemmy.world

    I’m old school, I use Bash and do the basic " [user@hostname working-directory]$ " but there’s a newline before the first bracket so there’s always a line break and an indent after STDOUT so I can tell where the command output ends if it’s huge. I also tend to colorize it a bit.

    I’ve tried ZSH and I like it, but as a Linux System Engineering overseeing thousands of servers, they all use Bash, so that’s what I’ve stuck with as well.
