+# You can define POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_CLASSES to specify custom styling and icons for different
+# directories.
+#
+# POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_CLASSES must be an array with 3 * N elements. Each triplet consists of:
+#
+#   1. A pattern against which the current directory is matched. Matching is done with
+#      extended_glob option enabled.
+#   2. Directory class for the purpose of styling.
+#   3. Icon.
+#
+# Triplets are tried in order. The first triplet whose patterm matches $PWD wins. If there are no
+# matches, there will be no icon and the styling is done according to POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_BACKGROUND,
+# POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_FOREGROUND, etc.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#   POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_CLASSES=(
+#       '~/work(/*)#'  WORK     '(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻'
+#       '~(/*)#'       HOME     '⌂'

+#   POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_HOME_BACKGROUND=blue
+#   POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_DEFAULT_BACKGROUND=yellow

+#
+#   (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ ~/work/projects/important/urgent
+#
+#   ⌂ ~/best/powerlevel10k
