First: love it. Now, 2 questions. How do you format that prompt? Multi-level and folder icon looks really slick. Secondly, is the date/time always there or is that part of neofetch? If it's always there I'd love to know how you set that up.
Awesome, much appreciated! However, this is the first I'm hearing about Powerlevel9k and a cursory look at it tells me it may be a rabbit hole that never actually ends. So... thanks?
It's not the fastest terminal emulator out there but definitely faster than Hyper 1 & 2. Impressive how much performance improvements ZEIT has been able to put into their latest release. Definitely shows that Electron apps do not need to be resource hogs.
I'd guess in the past it has been too exotic a choice for daily usage as you would have to chain commands like mkdir newdir; and cd newdir instead of basic &&. Now the game has changed, though, so let's keep on praising it. 🎉
wow, thanks for sharing this. I've recently started setting up wsl2 on different distro, will try this lsd instead, got me at rust 😄. Btw, your terminal looks great, may I know it's details?
Edit: I have tried lsd, confirm that's it's amazingly fast, no hiccups as observed with colorls. I'll have to see its performance together with spaceship prompt and other zsh plugin, my original setup in wsl1.
An opcode is the first byte of an instruction in machine language which tells the hardware what operation needs to be performed with this instruction. Every processor/controller has its own set of opcodes defined in its architecture. An opcode is followed by data like address, values, etc if needed.
Thank you very much for this. I don't really understand all of the jargon like wal as I'm new in experimenting in the Terminal. I want to learn what is the advantage of Oh My Zsh than the normal bash, and their differences.
I'd post a screenshot of it, but it's so ugly I might break the site😛.
I tend to get caught up in the customization of my tools instead of becoming proficient with them. Resulting a bunch of lost time and confusion/frustration.
I recently decided to shelf the customization for now in favor of getting better on the command line
Terminal : st
Shell : zsh
Font : Roboto Mono
Split handle by i3wm and in case of no graphical environment (tty)
tmux with i3 friendly config will be use.
I was on zsh them switched to fish for about 2 years, and now I'm back on zsh. 🙃

I've switched my theme a bunch of times for my terminal, but I always seem to come back to the Agnoster theme.
A ZSH theme designed to disclose information contextually, with a powerline aesthetic
agnoster.zsh-theme
A ZSH theme optimized for people who use:
Solarized
Git
Unicode-compatible fonts and terminals (I use iTerm2 + Menlo)
For Mac users, I highly recommend iTerm 2 + Solarized Dark
Compatibility
NOTE: In all likelihood, you will need to install a Powerline-patched font for this theme to render correctly.
To test if your terminal and font support it, check that all the necessary characters are supported by copying the following command to your terminal: echo "\ue0b0 \u00b1 \ue0a0 \u27a6 \u2718 \u26a1 \u2699". The result should look like this:
What does it show?
If the previous command failed (✘)
User @ Hostname (if user is not DEFAULT_USER, which can then be set in your profile)
Here's mine :)
I use Alacritty and tmux for sessions :) I use Vim as an editor and I start a separate instance of alacritty without tmux for it for performance purposes.
You can also use commands "true" and "false" to generate just exit codes. Another more or less elegant way may be to use subshell like "( exit 0 ; )" and "( exit 1 ; )".
Default Mac terminal because I haven't taken the time to install anything better. I tried Hyper but it kept throwing JavaScript/Electron errors at random.
My windows machine has Git Bash, which is nice, and also the default colors.
Here is mine. There is nothing special about it. I use iTerm2 because I like it's split screen mode with broadcast input (which is very useful if you're running commands on multiple servers). I also like large fonts 🤓
I just finished setting things up with zsh, iterm2, and spaceship. Thanks for your previous post about that Ali. I wasn't satisfied with the common powersomething9k theme and spaceship looked quite simple. I carried over some colours that I previously set up in terminal.
I'm super lame overall. I've got zsh setup with a very minimal theme. I've also taken to using VS Code's built-in terminals more. Though standard MacOS Terminal has served me decently through the years.
Solarized has been my color scheme for a while, but I've been playing with the default dark theme in VS Code for everything in there and don't mind it.
Edit: Adding the image because I only kind of know what I'm doing!
When I started using Unix (1st year uni), it was SunOS 4. We had VT100-compatible dumb terminals (mix of green/amber on black), whether it was for accessing the CS, Physics, Maths or Stats servers - let alone the university library catalogue (and OMG that was some ghod-awful COBOL-based thing).
In my second year I got access to the Sun 3/ and 4/ workstations that the CS department had upgraded to over the summer, but they were still black and white. Megapixel displays (1152x900), sure, but still monochrome (not like those flyboys in the newly established EE department!).
For me, a colourised terminal was not something I had access to until my final year of uni when I was able to afford to put together a pc to run linux on. By that point my terminal habits were very much set. Sure, I could have a colourised terminal session, but for all the systems I could access at uni I knew that the only emulation setting I could depend upon being there was monochrome vt100/vt102.
Even after I started working (sysadmin at another uni) and we got schmick new Sun Ultra10s with their 2nd level graphics cards, all the systems that we managed were headless and - again - we could depend on monochrome only.
I don't know what the state of screen reading software on linux or Solaris is these days, but all the software engineering experience I've had where we had to go through exhaustive "Accessibility Section 508" checklists has biased me against using colours unless it's in a browser
or an editor.
Here's my contribution. I'm using the Base2Tone colour-scheme called Heath Dark, and I've set up my window manager to read its colours from .Xresources as well so my entire desktop matches.
I use gruvbox light for my vim colours though, as I've read some compelling information that dark-on-light is easier on your eyes in the long run.
Meaning: I don't need updates, my Taskwarrior tasks are up to date, this is the time, this is the current temperature (within delta of my current location), I've had two cups of coffee today, my FitBit steps aren't tracked (because my tracker broke this weekend) and I'm in my home directory.
just kidding 😂
Best terminal of all times 😂
Simply legend terminal 😄😂
First: love it. Now, 2 questions. How do you format that prompt? Multi-level and folder icon looks really slick. Secondly, is the date/time always there or is that part of neofetch? If it's always there I'd love to know how you set that up.
Thanks!
Using Powerlevel9k for that. Here's a gist of my settings for it.
Awesome, much appreciated! However, this is the first I'm hearing about Powerlevel9k and a cursory look at it tells me it may be a rabbit hole that never actually ends. So... thanks?
:)
Hi! Creator of P9k, here. I can assure you it's a wonderful rabbit hole with beautiful terminals and much CLI magic =)
That very nice..!! 😍😍
What command shows that?
neofetch.
If you're on Mac with Homebrew installed just do
brew install neofetchor
port install neofetchAlmost the same with Ali!
Using:
tmuxto create multiple sessions and split panesexaas replacement forlsbatas replacement forcat(aliased here, though)I’m curious- why do you like Hyper 3? (I’ve never tried it)
Because there is no iTerm for Windows. With Hyper I can replicate this exactly same terminal experience on all platforms.
Well, Windows has a bit different font rendering but otherwise I can just hop between computers and stay productive.
The other terminal I'm using sometimes is the one built into VS Code which is another cross-platform dream.
Ahh I see I see.
I may try it but I wonder if it’s a bit of a hog with electron. I like that you can style it with css
It's not the fastest terminal emulator out there but definitely faster than Hyper 1 & 2. Impressive how much performance improvements ZEIT has been able to put into their latest release. Definitely shows that Electron apps do not need to be resource hogs.
Lovely, I'm seeing a lot of fellow fishes
Fish is great. I'm always surprised it is not more popular.
I'd guess in the past it has been too exotic a choice for daily usage as you would have to chain commands like
mkdir newdir; and cd newdirinstead of basic&&. Now the game has changed, though, so let's keep on praising it. 🎉Here's mine
Chris - I love your colorscheme. I've implemented it in my terminal emulator too!
How did you choose the font, by the way?

Nothing to do with rails. It's your virtualenv by Python and additionally your .bashrc or .zshrc might be broken
Hey man thanks for replying. This has been fixed already
Old school gamer!
But would love to have proper and colored unicode emojis in a Powershell terminal like you linux and mac guys. 😥
