So nice love it thx!

thanks man, really useful since Im forced to not use zsh, which is all I know...

the prompt is not working for me on debian 11 (LXC). Any Ideas?

@Domi-cc

the prompt is not working

according to the screen you've provided, the prompt works but your terminal is unable to display some symbols. It's fine, all you need is to change the font in your terminal app. If none of your favorite fonts works then you can try to install Powerline fonts and use one of them

thanks for you help! i installed the fonts-powerline package and tried it with "Droid Sans", now it is working :) 👍

thanks

It does not show head of branch or branch name if particular dir have .git folder.

@JasrajChouhan

It does not show head of branch or branch name if particular dir have .git folder.

right, it's non full-featured zsh replacement, just an example of more beautiful command line

I'm configured my self.
