colorls VS powerlevel10k

colorls: Colorizes the ls output with color and icons (requires gem). Includes many useful flags, such as --gs for Git status, or -t for a tree view: I use an alias to replace ls with colorls:

colorls is installed for a neat ls command called lc in powerlevel10k: https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls

# Fancy Bash Prompts. Notes From my .bashrc #---------------------------------- # Homepage, then the command to activate # Starship -> https://starship.rs/ #eval "$(starship init bash)" # Silver https://github.com/reujab/silver #source <(silver init) # Pureline https://github.com/chris-marsh/pureline #source ~/.pureline/pureline ~/.pureline.conf ## another nice little tool # colorls ruby thing # https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls#installation

Now my terminal looks very good! Unfortunately, though, I noticed a screenshot from the colorls Github page and now I definitely want to configure fish to look like this, but that theme is made for zsh (oh my zsh).

This project is heavily inspired by the super colorls project but with some little differences. For example it is written in rust and not in ruby which makes it much faster.

Could be wrong but I think that is colorls - https://github.com/athityakumar/colorls

That’s the minimum terminal setup. You can modify the look and add plugins such as autocompletion to your terminal by installing ohmyzsh and using themes such as powerlevel10k. I am already using them.

I used ohmyzsh with powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k[0] for years though recently i've settled on fish [1]

I had just gone through a fun tutorial for setting up oh-my-zsh with a nice color scheme from iterm2colorschemes.com and a decent prompt and I was wondering: can I make my oblique strategy look nice? how can you actually use the colors from your scheme in the output in your cli?

A more robust way to do this would be to add simple wrappers that clone any external Zsh plugins you use regularly and store them in your own $ZSH_CUSTOM. For example, you say you like Powerlevel10k, so make that an OMZ plugin:

Looks like PowerLevel10 theme for Zsh shell

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes/powerlevel10k

Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

BUT...

After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

To build upon that concept, you can even have your shell prompt display a symbol if you have a backgrounded job. I use https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k and the background_jobs handles it for me.

I also use PowerLevel10k. Themes up your zsh to make it look nice, pretty customisable.
