I started to use Powerlevel10k for prompt customization from May of this year. As its name implies, it is very powerful and has a super easy-to-use Configuration wizard.
> yay -Q | grep powerlevel10k
ttf-meslo-nerd-font-powerlevel10k 1.000-3
zsh-theme-powerlevel10k 1.12.0-3
But one of the problems is that the configuration file is too complex and difficult to manage as dotfiles for human beings. So I want to find a lightweight alternative with a simple configuration.
🎉 I discovery Starship that seem to be perfect considering what I expect. Interestingly, this tool is written by Rust.
