## What it is
A popular ZSH prompt theme with a powerline aesthetic that contextually displays information like git status, working directory, failed commands, and root privileges. It requires a powerline-patched font and a Unicode-compatible terminal.

## Use cases
- make my zsh prompt show git branch and dirty status
- powerline-style terminal prompt for zsh
- show when previous command failed in my shell prompt
- customize the order of prompt segments in zsh
- indicate root privileges in the terminal prompt

## When to choose
- you use ZSH and want a visually rich, informative powerline prompt
- you work with git daily and want branch/status at a glance
- you want a customizable prompt segment system

## When to avoid
- you use bash or fish instead of zsh
- you cannot install powerline-patched fonts
- you want a minimal, fast prompt without unicode glyphs
