@gak can you share your current terminal theme/shell prompt?
I couldn't find it in archive.org

@backermanbd I use zsh with fzf, nothing too complex.

I am using kitty terminal with fish shell.
Btw still i can't configure the proper shell prompt

can you look into this blog & help me understand it?
https://schlining.medium.com/a-simple-useful-fish-shell-prompt-for-java-python-programmers-9d19cc2e6c1

Do i need to install any theme or the fish_prompt.config code will do all the work?
