Favorite Linux Prompts? (programming.dev)

I was curious as to what prompts people find are the best for development? I'm looking for a change from the generic debian:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Which yields:

dell-xps-13@pop-os:~$

I use zsh for my shell, with powerlevel10k as my prompt. It's gorgeous and has an interactice condigurator on first start. It includes stuff like git repo branch and status, python venv, aws profile... I've used it for years and loved it the whole time.

Here's what mine looks like

No doubt p10k is excellent, and the dev knows what he's doing and helps others a lot.

Another great zsh prompt with a simpler implementation is agkozak's: https://github.com/agkozak/agkozak-zsh-prompt
