a tidy lil zsh theme
As seen on Awesome! (formerly appa-zsh-theme)
It's based on the refined theme built into the Oh-My-Zsh framework. I can't find that theme's author, but they did most of the work. This theme is also, by the transitive property, based off of the Pure theme by Sindre Sorhus and the nicoulaj theme by Julien Nicoulaud. It's zsh themes all the way down, baby.
Adds version control, virtual environment, and command execution time information to your prompt. Requires a patched Nerd Font for proper icon rendering.
The screenshot above uses the Hack Nerd Font, and the Catppuccin Alacritty theme. The fast-syntax-highlighting plugin is also being featured.
Installing
To install this, just source the theme file in your ~/.zshrc
source /path/to/_givensuman.zsh-theme
or, use your favorite plugin manager:

Run the following command
git clone https://github.com/givensuman/zsh-theme
cp zsh-theme/_givensuman.zsh-theme ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-~/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/themes

Customizing
You can change the prompt icon and color by modifying ZSH_THEME_PROMPT_COLOR and ZSH_THEME_PROMPT_ICON environment variables, such as adding this to your ~/.zshrc

You know the drill, do whatever you want with this.
