## powerlevel9k Theme for Oh-My-Zsh
This is a theme for [Oh-My-Zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh). This
theme uses [Powerline Fonts](https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts), thus
giving you the most bad-ass terminal styling in the universe (as of 2015 C.E.).
Look like a bad-ass. Impress everyone in 'Screenshot Your Desktop' threads. Use powerlevel9k.
In addition to looking amazing, this theme actually provides a lot of useful
information.
### Features
* Shows lots of information about Git repositories, including:
* branch / tag name
* current action status (rebasing, merging, etc.,)
* being behind / ahead of your remote
* various local working tree statuses
* Shows command number in right-prompt (so you can `$ !<num>` to re-run)
* Shows return-code of command if it is an error code
* Shows system time in right-prompt
* Indicates background jobs with a gear
* Will conditionally display the `user@host` string
**If you would like an OMZ theme that provides most of the same features but
doesn't require Powerline fonts, check out the sister font,
[hackersaurus](https://github.com/bhilburn/hackersaurus).**
These screenshots should give you an idea of what `powerlevel9k` looks like:

### Installation
First, you need to install Powerline Fonts. You can find the [installation

You can also find the raw font files [in this Github

directory:

You then need to select it in your `~/.zshrc`:

If you do not want to display the `user@host` string, you should also put this
in your `~/.zshrc`:
export DEFAULT_USER=<your username>

your `~/.zshrc`:
POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(context dir git)
