## powerlevel9k Theme for 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

Look like a bad-ass. Impress everyone in 'Screenshot Your Desktop' threads. Use powerlevel9k.
Powerlevel9k can be used with vanilla ZSH,
[Oh-My-Zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh), or
[Prezto](https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto), and can also be installed
using [antigen](https://github.com/zsh-users/antigen).
In addition to looking amazing, this theme actually provides a lot of useful
information in configurable prompt segments. Here is an example of what it looks

### Installation
There are three different forms of installation that you can use to make use of
this theme:
There are two steps to start using this theme:
* Normal - Theme + Powerline Fonts
* Über - Theme + Awesome Powerline Fonts
* Bare Bones - Theme Only
1. Install the Powerlevel9k theme.
2. Install Powerline-patched fonts.
3. [Optional] Configuration
#### Install Powerlevel9k
To get the most out of Powerlevel9k, you need to install both the theme as well
as Powerline-patched fonts, if you don't have them installed already. If you
cannot install Powerline-patched fonts for some reason, follow the instructions
below for a `compatible` install.
##### With plain ZSH
No configuration is necessary post-installation if you like the default
settings, but there is plenty of segment configuration available if you are
interested.
If you use just a plain ZSH, just clone this repository and reference it in your `~/.zshrc`:
#### Step 1: Install Powerlevel9k
There are four ways to install and use the Powerlevel9k theme: vanilla ZSH,
Oh-My-Zsh, Prezto, and antigen. Do one of the following:

If you use just a vanilla ZSH install, simply clone this repository and
reference it in your `~/.zshrc`:

theme to the antigen config in your `~/.zshrc`:

#### Install Powerline Fonts for Normal Configuration
#### Step 2: Install Powerline Fonts
Technically, you don't *have* to install Powerline fonts. If you are using
a font that has some of the basic glyphs we need, you can use the theme in
`compatible` mode - see the third option, below.
To get the most out of theme, though, you'll want Powerline-patched fonts. There
are two varieties of these: 'Powerline Fonts' and 'Awesome Powerline
Fonts'. The latter includes additional glyphs that aren't required for a normal
install.
