A Powerline-style theme for Prezto ZSH that displays git info, ruby version, and commit time in a single-line prompt.
prezto_powerline is a Powerline-inspired theme for the Prezto ZSH framework. It customizes the command-line prompt to display useful information like git branch status, time since last commit, and current Ruby environment in a compact, single-line format. It helps developers quickly see project context without leaving the terminal.
Developers using Prezto ZSH who want a visually distinct, information-dense prompt with git and Ruby environment integration, particularly those following the YADR (Yet Another Dotfiles Repository) setup.
It provides a clean, Powerline-style aesthetic with practical project metadata directly in the prompt, reducing the need for separate commands to check git status or Ruby version, and integrates seamlessly with the Prezto ecosystem and YADR dotfiles.

Maintains a clean terminal interface by fitting essential project context into one line, as demonstrated in the provided screenshot.
Displays the current branch and modification status, allowing developers to see git state at a glance without running separate commands.
Integrates with RVM to show the active Ruby version and gemset, which is specifically useful for Ruby developers.
Designed to work out-of-the-box with YADR dotfiles, offering a smooth setup for users already in that ecosystem.
The TODO list highlights a need for 'Moar configurable', indicating that users have few options to tweak the prompt's appearance or behavior.
Installation requires multiple steps including cloning YADR, creating a secrets file, and manual configuration, which can be prone to errors.
Heavily reliant on Prezto and YADR, making it incompatible with other ZSH frameworks or dotfile managers.
The TODO mentions 'Handle NVM version info?', showing that Node.js environment information is not integrated, a gap for full-stack developers.
