Customizing Powerlevel10k

Run p10k configure to access the builtin configuration wizard right from your terminal.

# Wizard options: nerdfont-v3 + powerline, small icons, rainbow, unicode,
# 24h time, angled separators, sharp heads, flat tails, 2 lines, disconnected,
# full frame, dark-ornaments, compact, many icons, concise, instant_prompt=verbose.
# Type `p10k configure` to generate another config.

The following settings are overwritten in zsh/override/theme.zsh:

  • Transient prompt on same dir
  • Fewer elements on right prompt
  • Asdf glob patterns to show version tools

Keep in mind that only the following theme options will match your terminal color settings: rainbow, lean with 8 colors and pure original. All the remaining options have fixed colors.

Adding your own ZSH theme

If you want to add your own zsh theme, you can place it in ~/.zsh.prompts and it will automatically be picked up by the prompt loader.

Make sure you follow the naming convention of prompt_[name]_setup

touch ~/.zsh.prompts/prompt_mytheme_setup

See also the Prezto project for more info on themes.

Customizing ZSH with ~/.zsh.after/ and ~/.zsh.before/

If you want to customize your zsh experience, yadr provides two hooks via ~/.zsh.after/ and ~/.zsh.before/ directories. In these directories, you can place files to customize things that load before and after other zsh customizations that come from ~/.yadr/zsh/*

Overriding the theme

To override the theme, you can do something like this:

echo "prompt yourprompt" > ~/.zsh.after/prompt.zsh

Next time you load your shell, this file will be read and your prompt will be the youprompt prompt. Use prompt -l to see the available prompts.
