Plugins

After installing plugins, put them in ~/.zshrc
1plugins=(git docker docker-compose zsh-syntax-highlighting dnf npm)
2# for me
3# plugins=(git docker docker-compose npm ruby python emoji)

spaceship-prompt theme

This is my choice. Source code. More settings can be found here. You need to install oh-my-zsh first!
1git clone <https://github.com/denysdovhan/spaceship-prompt.git> "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt"
1ln -s "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship-prompt/spaceship.zsh-theme" "$ZSH_CUSTOM/themes/spaceship.zsh-theme"
Set ZSH_THEME="spaceship" in your .zshrc.

Fonts

Install font Source Code Pro:
Powerline font,
1sudo apt-get install fonts-powerline
In terminal, choose the corresponding installed fonts.
Add alias to ~/.zshrc (search "alias" to find the place to put).

Display execution time below to command

The following tip will display the execution time of a command. This can be useful, especially when you execute the same command multiple times and need to know when the last command was executed.
1# Push below in .zshrc
2preexec () {
3  local TIME=`date +"[%H:%M:%S] "`
4  local zero='%([BSUbfksu]|([FK]|){*})'
5  local PROMPTLEN=${#${(S%%)PROMPT//$~zero/}}
6  echo "\033[1A\033[$(($(echo -n $1 | wc -m)+$PROMPTLEN))C $fg[blue]${TIME}$reset_color"
7}
