powerlevel9k Theme for Oh-My-Zsh

This is a theme for Oh-My-Zsh. This theme uses Powerline Fonts, thus giving you the most bad-ass terminal styling in the universe (as of 2015 C.E.).

Look like a bad-ass. Impress everyone in 'Screenshot Your Desktop' threads. Use powerlevel9k.

In addition to looking amazing, this theme actually provides a lot of useful information.

Features

• Shows lots of information about Git repositories, including:
  • branch / tag name
  • current action status (rebasing, merging, etc.,)
  • being behind / ahead of your remote
  • various local working tree statuses
• Shows command number in right-prompt (so you can $ !<num> to re-run)
• Shows return-code of command if it is an error code
• Shows system time in right-prompt
• Indicates background jobs with a gear
• Will conditionally display the user@host string

If you would like an OMZ theme that provides most of the same features but doesn't require Powerline fonts, check out the sister font, hackersaurus.

These screenshots should give you an idea of what powerlevel9k looks like:

Installation

First, you need to install Powerline Fonts. You can find the installation instructions here. You can also find the raw font files in this Github repository.

$ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes
$ git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git powerlevel9k

You then need to select it in your ~/.zshrc:

If you do not want to display the user@host string, you should also put this in your ~/.zshrc:

export DEFAULT_USER=<your username>
