### How do I add username and/or hostname to prompt?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using *Lean*, *Classic* or *Rainbow* style, prompt shows `username@hostname` when you are
|
||||||
|
logged in as root or via SSH. There is little value showing `username` or `hostname` when you are
|
||||||
|
logged in to your local machine as a normal user. So the absence of `username@hostname` in your
|
||||||
|
prompt is an indication that you are working locally and that you aren't root. You can change it,
|
||||||
|
however.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Open `~/.p10k.zsh`. Close to the top you can see the most important parameters that define which
|
||||||
|
segments are shown in your prompt. All generally useful prompt segments are listed in there. Some of
|
||||||
|
them are enabled, others are commented out. One of them is of interest to you.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```zsh
|
||||||
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
context # user@hostname
|
||||||
|
...
|
||||||
|
)
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Search for `context` to find the section in the config that lists parameters specific to this prompt
|
||||||
|
segment. You should see the following lines there:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```zsh
|
||||||
|
# Don't show context unless running with privileges or in SSH.
|
||||||
|
# Tip: Remove the next line to always show context.
|
||||||
|
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_{DEFAULT,SUDO}_{CONTENT,VISUAL_IDENTIFIER}_EXPANSION=
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you follow the tip and remove (or comment out) the last line, you'll always see
|
||||||
|
`username@hostname` in prompt. You can change the format to just `username`, or change the color, by
|
||||||
|
adjusting the values of parameters nearby. There are plenty of comments to help you navigate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally, you can move `context` segment to where you want it to be in your prompt. Perhaps somewhere
|
||||||
|
within `POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS`.
