@ -717,6 +719,27 @@ Running this command with `~/powerlevel10k` as the current directory on the same
[prompt benchmark](#is-it-really-fast) takes 29 seconds (29 ms per invocation). This is about 6
times faster than powerlevel9k/master and 17 times faster than powerlevel9k/next.
### What is the relationship between Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k?
Powerlevel10k was forked from Powerlevel9k in March 2019 after a week-long discussion in
[powerlevel9k#1170](https://github.com/Powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k/issues/1170). Powerlevel9k was
already a mature project with large user base and release cycle measured in months. Powerlevel10k
was spun off to iterate on performance improvements and new features at much higher pace.
Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k are independent projects. When using one, you shouldn't install the
other. Issues should be filed against the project that you actually use. There are no individuals
that have commit rights in both repositories. All bug fixes and new features committed to
Powerlevel9k repository get ported to Powerlevel10k.
Over time, virtually all code in Powerlevel10k has been rewritten. There is currently no meaningful
overlap between the implementations of Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k.
Powerlevel10k is committed to maintaining backward compatiblity with all configs indefinitely. This
committment covers all configuration parameters recognized by Powerlevel9k (see
[Powerlevel9k compatibility](#powerlevel9k-compatibility)) and additional parameters that only
Powerlevel10k understands. Names of all parameters in Powerlevel10k start with `POWERLEVEL9K_` for
consistency.
### Does Powerlevel10k always render exactly the same prompt as Powerlevel9k given the same config?
Almost. There are a few differences.
