Installing and configuring Powerline-style command line tools for developers (OSX)

Intro:

For every developer, terminal is their weapon, so why don't you customize it to become a powerful, and a beautiful weapon?

Powerline style refers to a terminal style that helps developer to keep track of their workflow easily, allows them to have perfect visual on current directories and new changes. It is also git recognizable, and failure detector that will help your development process becomes more interact and much faster.

In this guideline, I will introduce you with 2 smart shells: Zsh and Fishshell. Both are perfect for the development jobs due to its rich of resources, and user-friendly.

Install Powerline fonts for Z shell

Please note: there is an APT package called "fonts-powerline" which is tested and working for Ubuntu 20.04 which achieves the same outcome. Try "sudo apt install fonts-powerline"

If you're using Z Shell and a special prompt theme designed with Powerline fonts in mind, you'll need to install them on your machine. These are the most clear and cut-down instructions that I've found to work with Ubuntu 16.10 (also confirmed working for 17.04, 17.10, 18.04, 19.10) and all credit goes to renshuki's Ubuntu 14.04 + Terminator + Oh My ZSH with Agnoster Theme gist. I've extracted just the Powerline font instructions - my personal setup uses Prezto instead of Oh My ZSH (not included here).
