## 🔌  prerequisites



in order to take advantage of the configuration settings that come along with the patched font you will need to have the zsh shell and [oh-my-zsh](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh) installed



`brew install zsh`



`sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"`



## 1ī¸âƒŖ install the patched nerdfont-complete font with the reply logo



install the fonts with the patched reply logo from the `vendor/nerdfont` directory.

you can find the original font compilation under https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts



only the _regular_ font file has been patched. the italic and bold version are in their vanilla states!



we used [birdfont](https://birdfont.org) to patch the logo in. the code point is encoded as `\U+FD50`.

i should have used one of the [private use areas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Use_Areas) though. if one of you finds the time to relocate the font to those ranges, a pull request will be appreciated.



## 2ī¸âƒŖ change your terminal settings to the new font



e.g. the configuration settings for iterm2

## 3ī¸âƒŖ install the powerlevel9k theme via homebrew



`brew install sambadevi/powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k`



## 🆙 append the powerlevel zsh configuration to your own .zshrc file



this repo contains a `zshrc` file which contains preconfigured, helpful configuration, check it out.



TL;DR - i like what i see in the picture ;-)



enter following line to append the content of the `zshrc` file to your config.



`cat zshrc >> ~/.zshrc`



### 🛠 some customization options



```zsh

# this will display the forerunner without prompting a newline

POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_OPENREPLY="echo -n '\ufd50'"



# the color of the forerunner

POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_OPENREPLY_FOREGROUND="black"



# change this to your reply companies color approximation

# e.g. see this site for valid options https://jonasjacek.github.io/colors/

POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_OPENREPLY_BACKGROUND="aquamarine1"



# this is optional. configure it as you see fit. we preconfigured python virtuelenv to be displayed when activated.

POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status virtualenv ip battery)



# the only important part here is the custom_openreply section. the others are optional.

POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(custom_openreply custom_awsprofile ssh dir vcs)

```
