powerlevel9k Theme for Oh-My-Zsh

This is a theme for Oh-My-Zsh. This theme uses Powerline Fonts, thus giving you the most epic 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.
