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)

    Fish, with Starship. It does everything I need it to, completely unmodified. In comparison, zsh barely reached feature parity with a dozen plugins, and I just don’t want to spend my time on that

      I love fish.

      Sometimes I wonder why people think using the terminal is so hard, then every once in a while when I’m not on my home PC and have to use Bash I get reminded of why

       

      I’ve been meaning to try zsh since it can supposedly do everything fish can while still being posix compliant, but I’ve never felt the need to not be using fish so I just never got around to it

          Ah, okay. The reason why I ask is because it ships with starship, and fish is the default shell.

          Or, at least, it used to be. I think they might’ve switched to bash recently. Using Garuda is what got me hooked on fish and starship.

      I’ve been using zsh with oh-my-zsh for almost a decade, but sounds like I might want to try Fish + Starship.

        Give it a shot. It’s a great shell, but be prepared to learn new things. It works differently in a lot of fundamental ways, but to me they just make sense
