Spaceship-prompt: How to use Awesome Powerline font or Nerd font with Spaceship Theme

[luong-komorebi]

I knew that Spaceship uses Emoji for its glyph, but I wonder if there is a way to use Awesome Powerline font or Nerd font with Spaceship.

For reference:

• https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
  
  These fonts look really good in terminal and are tailor-made for developers.

You could configure SPACESHIP_*_SYMBOL to use nerd-fonts. In #193 @AramC92 has displayed using nerd-fonts with spaceship-prompt.

Thank you so much. I fixed that. Should I submit a pull request to instruct people like me? @salmanulfarzy

[salmanulfarzy]

That's great 👏 . I think configurations would better fit to our presets wiki. If there are any instructions or troubleshooting guidelines about this feel free to open a PR.

Mind to share your conf with screenshot @luongvo209 ?

@salmanulfarzy I will definitely share it. Just give me some time I am busy with deadlines right now 😅😅

@luong-komorebi Could you share it? I hope you are less busy with deadlines now 😱

@hugo-vrijswijk Sorry this got forgotten for too long. I have now moved away from the system that i used a year ago. Below is a very small part of what's left:

# Git symbol
SPACESHIP_GIT_SYMBOL=$'\uf113 '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_PREFIX=' '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_SUFFIX=''
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_UNTRACKED=$'\uf059 '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_ADDED=$'\uF055 '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_MODIFIED=$'\uF06A '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_RENAMED=$'\uf45a '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_DELETED=$'\uf056 '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_STASHED=$'\uF01C '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_AHEAD=$'\uF01B '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_BEHIND=$'\uF01A '
SPACESHIP_GIT_BRANCH_PREFIX=$'\uf113 '
SPACESHIP_GIT_STATUS_DIVERGED=$'\uf47f '

Basically, the trick here is the $ and \u part. For example, github icon has the code :

But when you config spaceship, you cannot paste the symbol or the code alone, you have to do it like :

SPACESHIP_GIT_SYMBOL=$'\uf113 '

This helped me in the past. Not sure if there are any other problems that I did solve (and forgot 😢 )
