## powerlevel9k Theme for Oh-My-Zsh
|
|
|
|
This is a theme for [Oh-My-Zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh). This
|
|
theme uses [Powerline Fonts](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts), thus
|
|
giving you the most epic terminal styling in the universe.
|
|
|
|
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 in configurable prompt segments.
|
|
|
|
### Features
|
|
|
|
* Supports `git` and `mercurial` repo information through ZSH's `VCS_INFO`:
|
|
* branch / tag name
|
|
* current action status (rebasing, merging, etc.,)
|
|
* being behind / ahead of your remote by some number of commits
|
|
* number of stashes (git only)
|
|
* conditionally shows remote tracking branch if the name differs from local
|
|
* various working tree statuses (e.g., unstaged, staged, etc.,)
|
|
* Shows return-code of the last command if it is an error code
|
|
* Indicates background jobs with a gear icon
|
|
* Can conditionally display the `user@host` string when needed
|
|
* Provides segment for command history (so you can `$ !<num>` to re-run)
|
|
* Plenty of additional segments to choose from (e.g., AWS, ruby)
|
|
* Can be used as a single or double-lined prompt (see screenshots below)
|
|
* Several built-in color configurations to choose from
|
|
|
|
**If you would like an OMZ theme that provides some of the same features but
|
|
doesn't require Powerline fonts, check out the sister font,

|

Here are some screenshots of `powerlevel9k` with default settings:

|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
There are two things you need to make this theme work correctly: Powerline
|
|
fonts, and the theme itself.
|
|
|
|
#### Install Powerline Fonts
|
|
First, you need to install Powerline Fonts. You can find the [installation
|
|
instructions
|
|
here](https://powerline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation/linux.html#fonts-installation).
|
|
You can also find the raw font files [in this Github
|
|
repository](https://github.com/powerline/fonts) if you want to manually install
|
|
them for your OS.
|
|
|
|
After you have installed Powerline fonts, make the default font in your terminal
|
|
emulator the Powerline font you want to use.
|
|
|
|
#### Install Powerlevel9k
|
|
|
|
To install this theme, clone this repository into your Oh-My-Zsh `custom/themes`
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k.git themes/powerlevel9k
|
|
|
|
You then need to select this theme in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k"
|
|
|
|
### Segment Customization
|
|
|
|
Customizing your prompt is easy! Select the segments you want to have displayed,
|
|
and then assign them to either the left or right prompt. The segments that are
|
|
currently available are:
|
|
|
|
* **aws** - The current AWS profile, if active (more info below)
|
|
* **context** - Your username and host (more info below)
|
|
* **dir** - Your current working directory.
|
|
* **history** - The command number for the current line.
|
|
* **rbenv** - Ruby environment information (if one is active).
|
|
* **rspec_stats** - Show a ratio of test classes vs code classes for RSpec.
|
|
* **status** - The return code of the previous command, and status of background jobs.
|
|
* **symfony2_tests** - Show a ratio of test classes vs code classes for Symfony2.
|
|
* **time** - System time.
|
|
* **virtualenv** - Your Python [VirtualEnv](https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/).
|
|
* **vcs** - Information about this `git` or `hg` repository (if you are in one).
|
|
|
|
To specify which segments you want, just add the following variables to your
|
|
`~/.zshrc`. If you don't customize this, the below configuration is the default:
|
|
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(context dir rbenv vcs)
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status history time)
|
|
|
|
#### The AWS Profile Segment
|
|
|
|
If you would like to display the [current AWS
|
|
profile](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html), add
|
|
the `aws` segment to one of the prompts, and define `AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE` in
|
|
your `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
export AWS_DEFAULT_PROFILE=<profile_name>
|
|
|
|
#### The 'context' Segment
|
|
|
|
The `context` segment (user@host string) is conditional. This lets you enable it, but only display
|
|
it if you are not your normal user or on a remote host (basically, only print it
|
|
when it's likely you need it).
|
|
|
|
To use this feature, make sure the `context` segment is enabled in your prompt
|
|
elements (it is by default), and define a `DEFAULT_USER` in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
export DEFAULT_USER=<your username>
|
|
|
|
#### The VCS Information Segment
|
|
|
|
By default, the `vcs` segment will provide quite a bit of information. If you
|
|
would also like for it to display the current hash / changeset, simply define
|
|
`POWERLEVEL9K_SHOW_CHANGESET` in your `~/.zshrc`. If activated, it will show
|
|
the first 12 characters of the changeset id. To change the amount of characters,
|
|
set `POWERLEVEL9K_CHANGESET_HASH_LENTH` to any value you want.
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
# enable the vcs segment in general
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_SHOW_CHANGESET=true
|
|
# just show the 6 first characters of changeset
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_CHANGESET_HASH_LENGTH=6
|
|
|
|
##### Symbols
|
|
|
|
The `vcs` segment uses various symbols to tell you the state of your repository:
|
|
|
|
* `↑4` - The number of commits your repository is ahead of your remote branch
|
|
* `↓5` - The number of commits your repository is behind of your remote branch
|
|
* `⍟3` - The number of stashes, here 3.
|
|
* `●` - There are unstaged changes in your working copy
|
|
* `✚` - There are staged changes in your working copy
|
|
* `?` - There are files in your working copy, that are unknown to your repository
|
|
* `→` - The name of your branch differs from it's tracking branch.
|
|
|
|
### Styling
|
|
|
|
You can configure the look and feel of your prompt easily with some built-in
|
|
options.
|
|
|
|
#### Double-Lined Prompt
|
|
|
|
By default, `powerlevel9k` is a single-lined prompt. If you would like to have
|
|
the segments display on one line, and print the command prompt below it, simply
|
|
define `POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_ON_NEWLINE` in your `~/.zshrc`:
|
|
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_ON_NEWLINE=true
|
|
|
|
Here is what it looks like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Light Color Theme
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to use "light" colors, simply set `POWERLEVEL9K_COLOR_SCHEME`
|
|
to `light` in your `~/.zshrc`, and you're all set!
|
|
|
|
POWERLEVEL9K_COLOR_SCHEME='light'
|
|
|
|
The 'light' color scheme works well for ['Solarized
|
|
Light'](https://github.com/altercation/solarized) users. Check it out:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Here are some fixes to some common problems.
|
|
|
|
#### Gaps Between Segments
|
|
|
|
You can see this issue in the screenshot, below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thankfully, this is easy to fix. This happens if you have successfully installed
|
|
Powerline fonts, but did not make a Powerline font the default font in your
|
|
terminal emulator (e.g., 'terminator', 'gnome-terminal', 'konsole', etc.,).
