oh-my-git VS powerline

Using a custom prompt. oh-my-zsh and oh-my-fish already come with a prompt set up in an awesome way. Still you may want to look at Powerline and oh-my-git. The former provides beautiful and highly-functional prompts for bash, tmux, vim and IPython (among other things). The latter is a super-advanced prompt for working with git.

Cool idea, but confusing name: https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git

Powerline (and airline, as well as all plugins of that kind) offers, among other things, a GUI that helps you manage buffers and tabs. There are plugins that do just that and nothing else, which are best used alongside powerline/airline/etc, for example bufferline.

Powerline Provides a much nicer status line in Vim, including integration with Git to tell you what branch you’re on and the tracking status of the file you’re working on.

powerline includes prompts for bash and zsh that include git info. (despite selling itself as a vim statusline, I believe you can use its shell prompts without using it with vim.)

Could also be a patched font. Some fonts use the private use area of unicode to draw glyphs for use in interface. Check out for example these patched fonts for Powerline on GitHub. Powerline is a status line plugin for vim and it uses text to draw the interface. If you download one, drop it on a font visualizer e.g. fontdrop.info you'll see a range of specific glyphs inside the private use area (E000–F8FF). There's even an Ubuntu logo at E0FF.

You are wrong

Wait until you discover that you can apply powerline to both of them

IBM Plex is an interesting font that I'm looking forward to, and I would like to try it out. However, you may be in similar setup as I am, which relays on Powerline glyphs in order to display vim/statusline/prompt correctly.

Looks like I installed this one via apt-get. To use it, I have this in my ~/.config/fish/fish.config:
