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)

You'll want to start toning your skills with Bash and other POSIX shells like AT&T ksh, zsh, and dash if you ever wish to do serious scripting for work... either that, or start learning Python. That is, unless you already have those under your belt. Apology in advance if you already do... I just couldn't understand switching to Fish after already having those skills. If you do, and you then switched to Fish, what was the benefit of that? Just curious.
