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 tried oh-my-bash with some fancy theme, but went back to plain old bash from my distro since suggestions for autocomplete had suddenly started to lag. Went back to default and it’s as quick as ever to suggest.

    I’m not willing to trade efficiency for bells and whistles

      I don’t know about oh-my-bash themes, but on the zsh side, the powerlevel10k can display a lot of information without any lag due to asynchronous implementation. I’m sure there is something similar for bash too.
