November 20, 2025 · View on GitHub

An oh-my-zsh theme inspired by lambda mod theme.

Named 'emo' for its use of random emoji symbols as prompt leaders, this theme brings variety to your terminal by switching to a new emoji each time you open a shell. It also offers a rich set of clear symbolic indicators for diverse Git repository states.
