Powerlevel10k Extended Configuration

Powerlevel10k has configuration options that Powerlevel9k doesn't. These options have POWERLEVEL9K prefix just like the rest.

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_SYNC_LATENCY_SECONDS (FLOAT) [default=0.05]

If it takes longer than this to fetch git repo status, display the prompt with a greyed out vcs segment and fix it asynchronously when the results come it.

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_BACKENDS (ARRAY) [default=(git)]

The list of VCS backends to use. Supported values are git, svn and hg. Note that adding anything other than git will make prompt slower even when your current directory isn't a repo.

POWERLEVEL9K_GITSTATUS_DIR (STRING) [default=$POWERLEVEL9K_INSTALLATION_DIR/gitstatus]

Directory with gitstatus plugin. By default uses a copy bundled with Powerlevel10k.

POWERLEVEL9K_DISABLE_GITSTATUS (STRING) [default="false"]

If set to "true", Powerlevel10k won't use its fast git backend and will fall back to vcs_info like Powerlevel9k.

POWERLEVEL9K_MAX_CACHE_SIZE (INT) [default=10000]

The maximum number of elements that can be stored in the cache. When the cache grows over this limit, it gets cleared.

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_INDEX_SIZE_DIRTY (INT) [default=-1]

Don't scan for dirty files in git repos with more files in the index than this. Instead, show them with the "dirty" color (yellow by default) whether they are dirty or not. This makes git prompt much faster on huge repositories.

POWERLEVEL9K_EXPERIMENTAL_TIME_REALTIME (STRING) [default="false"]

If set to "true", time segment will update every second, turning into a realtime clock. This option triggers a bug in completion menu in zsh, and another bug in history. You can pick up a fix for the latter from a fork of zsh.

When using gitstatus, there is an extra state called LOADING that is used by vcs prompt segment when it's waiting for git status in the background. You can define styling for this state the same way as for the other states -- CLEAN, UNTRACKED and MODIFIED. You can also define the icon and the text that will be used when LOADING state is triggered for a git repository for which no prior status is known. If both POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_ICON and POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_TEXT are empty, vcs segment in such cases won't be shown.

• POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_ICON (STRING) [default=""]

  Icon shown while waiting for git status for a repo for the first time.

• POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_TEXT (STRING) [default="loading"]

  Text shown while waiting for git status for a repo for the first time.

• POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_BACKGROUND (STRING) [default="grey"]

  Background color for LOADING state.

• POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_FOREGROUND (STRING) [default="$DEFAULT_COLOR"]

  Foreground color for LOADING state.

• POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_COLOR (STRING) [default=$POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_FOREGROUND]

  Foreground color for POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_LOADING_ICON.

When using gitstatus, components of vcs segment can be colored individually by setting POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_${STATE}_${COMPONENT}FORMAT_FOREGROUND. ${STATE} should be one of CLEAN, UNTRACKED, MODIFIED or LOADING. ${COMPONENT} should be one of REMOTE_URL, COMMIT, BRANCH, TAG, REMOTE_BRANCH, STAGED, UNSTAGED, UNTRACKED, OUTGOING_CHANGES, INCOMING_CHANGES, STASH or ACTION. If POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_${STATE}_${COMPONENT}FORMAT_FOREGROUND isn't set for some combination of ${STATE} and ${COMPONENT}, the component is colored with POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_${COMPONENT}FORMAT_FOREGROUND. If that one isn't set either, the component is colored with POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_${STATE}_FOREGROUND. The fallback logic is consistent with Powerlevel9k, meaning that your vcs prompt will look the same in Powerlevel10k and Powerlevel9k if you don't define any POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_${STATE}_${COMPONENT}_FOREGROUND parameters. Note that both the icon and the text in each component always have the same color. There is currently no POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_${STATE}_${COMPONENT}FORMAT_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_COLOR, although it's easy to implement if desired.
