  • Simple Icon

    Powerlevel10k or p10k recommended using Meslo Nerd Font, it will show on your terminal for several icons like macbook logo, git branch, clock, directory, virtualenv, background process and other things. See image above.

    • And change your terminal font, look at this

  • Show Username

    Default configuration of p10k does not show username except when your machine in SSH mode. To show your username or hostname, or both maybe. You can change the context p10k configuration file named .p10k.zsh that you have generated before.

    This is my personal configuration.

    From this.

    ##################################[ context: user@hostname ]##################################
# Default context color.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_FOREGROUND=180
# Default context format: %n is username, %m is hostname.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_TEMPLATE='%n%f at %180F%m'

# Context color when running with privileges.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_ROOT_FOREGROUND=178
# Context format when running with privileges: bold user@hostname.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_ROOT_TEMPLATE='%n%f at %227F%m'

# Don't show context unless running with privileges or in SSH.
# Tip: Remove the next line to always show context.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_{DEFAULT,SUDO}_{CONTENT,VISUAL_IDENTIFIER}_EXPANSION=

# Custom icon.
# typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_EXPANSION='⭐'
# Custom prefix.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_PREFIX='%fwith '

    To this.

    ##################################[ context: user@hostname ]##################################
# typeset -g DEFAULT_USER="$USER"
# Default context color.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_FOREGROUND=cyan
# Default context format: %n is username, %m is hostname.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_TEMPLATE='cloudmg'

# Context color when running with privileges.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_ROOT_FOREGROUND=green
# Context format when running with privileges: bold user@hostname.
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_ROOT_TEMPLATE='%B%n@%m'

# Don't show context unless running with privileges or in SSH.
# Tip: Remove the next line to always show context.
# typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_{DEFAULT,SUDO}_{CONTENT,VISUAL_IDENTIFIER}_EXPANSION=

# Custom icon.
# typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_EXPANSION='⭐'
# Custom prefix.
# typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_PREFIX='%fwith '

    And you will get your username show on the terminal. If you want change the username, move the context on POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS

    typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
    # =========================[ Line #1 ]=========================
    os_icon                 # os identifier
    context                 # it will show your username
    dir                     # current directory
    vcs                     # git status
    # =========================[ Line #2 ]=========================
    newline
    prompt_char             # prompt symbol
)

    Then comment or delete on POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS

    typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(
  .
  .
  # context           # user@hostname
  .
  .
)
