Tips & Tricks

✅ shades-of-purple.itermcolors is for anyone who uses iTerm2 and wants the same colors as shown above.
✅ shades-of-purple.zsh-theme is the prompt layout for zsh users to make your terminal report relevant and awesome info. You should probably use both.

They work well together! You will need to install the patched powerline font as well: . I use Operator Mono it's a $200 premium font (devs spend so much time with code, it's only fair that it looks good) a free alternative is Fira Code. For non-ASCII font, you'll need to also installed a patched Powerline Font — I use the Inconsolata and it works well for this theme.
