What is your $PS1?

%b%k%s%u%F{%(?.076.196)}${${P9K_CONTENT::="❯"}+}${:-"❯"}%b%k%f%s%u 

But it's automagically set in my .zhsrc.

at the top

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; t>
  source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

and later on

[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] || source /usr/share/zsh-theme-powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-th>

I have this in my nixos configuration

        set_prompt () {
          if [[ "$?" == 0 ]]; then
            PS1=""
          else
            PS1="\[\e[01;31m\]($?) "
          fi
          PS1+="\[\e[01;;34m\]\\\$\[\e[00m\] "
        }
        export PROMPT_COMMAND="set_prompt; history -a; history -c; history -r;"

It is very minimal. Either a $ or (1) $. I use screen and I have common directories already open using .screenrc. This helps me avoid jumping between directories a lot. I also don't really need to know what user or machine I am on. If I get confused there is a command to look it up.

My zsh is configured to be minimal, no fancy characters, no fancy features for git, just a plain prompt in the Gentoo style.
The only difference is the last character ($ in bash, % in zsh) which is either green or red depending on the last exit code.
I need to rely on the prompt, on its position and looks, so nothing with variable length except for the path (which only the shell itself can change).
Beyond the prompt however starts syntax highlighting for my command and everything, so it is really just the prompt that I want to be static as an anchor of sorts.

PROMPT="%B%(!.%F{red}.%F{green}%n@)%m%k %B%F{blue}%(!.%1~.%~) %F{%(?.green.red)}%# %b%f%k"

Code over on GitHub.

${ret_status}%{$fg_bold[green]%}%p %{$fg[cyan]%}%c %{$fg_bold[blue]%}$(git_prompt_info)%{$fg_bold[blue]%} % %{$reset_color%}

Which generates something like this in a git enabled directory:

A Unicorn Symbol, My Name, Current Directory, Current Git Branch.

Nothing Fancy :)

I've found the cool generator: bashrcgenerator.com
