There is little value showing `username` or `hostname` when you are +logged in to your local machine as a normal user. So the absence of `username@hostname` in your +prompt is an indication that you are working locally and that you aren't root. You can change it, +however. + +Open `~/.p10k.zsh`. Close to the top you can see the most important parameters that define which +segments are shown in your prompt. All generally useful prompt segments are listed in there. Some of +them are enabled, others are commented out. One of them is of interest to you. + +```zsh +typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=( + ... + context # user@hostname + ... +) +``` + +Search for `context` to find the section in the config that lists parameters specific to this prompt +segment. You should see the following lines there: + +```zsh +# Don't show context unless running with privileges or in SSH. +# Tip: Remove the next line to always show context. +typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_CONTEXT_{DEFAULT,SUDO}_{CONTENT,VISUAL_IDENTIFIER}_EXPANSION= +``` + +If you follow the tip and remove (or comment out) the last line, you'll always see +`username@hostname` in prompt. You can change the format to just `username`, or change the color, by +adjusting the values of parameters nearby. There are plenty of comments to help you navigate. + +Finally, you can move `context` segment to where you want it to be in your prompt. Perhaps somewhere +within `POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS`. + ### Why does Powerlevel10k spawn extra processes? Powerlevel10k uses [gitstatus](https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus) as the backend behind `vcs` |
