I loved your setup so I implemented it

Here's mine

Chris - I love your colorscheme. I've implemented it in my terminal emulator too!

David Wickes • Jun 12 '19

How did you choose the font, by the way?

Itachi Uchiha • Jun 11 '19 • Edited

I use arch btw!

Are you part of OperationCode.org or does the opcode prompt mean something different to you?

Itachi Uchiha • Jun 18 '19

Hi, actually I didn't know OperationCode.org before.

My opcode username is related to CPU;

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.

What command shows that?

Stephanie Handsteiner • Jun 11 '19

neofetch.

If you're on Mac with Homebrew installed just do brew install neofetch

Dominic Shelton • Jun 12 '19

or port install neofetch

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.

Dave Fulton • Jun 11 '19

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?

Here's mine with a command line Pomodoro timer, I just need to add more color to my text.

What did you use?

Bryan Robinson • Jun 11 '19 • Edited

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!

What is this l command that show icons?

kevin • Jun 12 '19 • Edited

ls aliased as l in shell config file. Icons and colors can be achieved with colorls github.com/athityakumar/colorls

Zizaco • Jun 18 '19

Thanks !

I've found another way to do so: github.com/Peltoche/lsd + alias ls=lsd.

kevin • Jun 18 '19 • Edited

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.
