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 use plain old bash with the plain old .bashrc that ships with Debian. I’ll bolt on a git-branch-aware function into the prompt here and there, but that’s about it.

    Why? I ssh into a few dozen machines most days and my shitty little lizard brain can’t deal with everything being different on each box. So as much as I appreciate zsh, powerline plug-ins, all that glitzy stuff, I’ll be a late adopter when it comes to plain old Debian stable…

      This was me until the kubernetes transition occurred. Now I ssh into nothing unless it’s a personal box. I’ve become a zsh convert.

        I’ve been casually transitioning to kubernetes and zsh, but I’m just too comfortable with bash and my os running on bare metal. (He says with more than half his apps switched to containers.) It’s simple, effective, and is always available. I should take the plunge, someday.

          FWIW, once I got deep enough into it, the thought of going back to the old way seemed like a crazy idea. I don’t want to manage servers like that again if it can be avoided. YMMV.
