# Configuration ## For new users On the first run, Powerlevel10k [configuration wizard](#configuration-wizard) will ask you a few questions and configure your prompt. If it doesn't trigger automatically, type `p10k configure`. Configuration wizard creates `~/.p10k.zsh` based on your preferences. Additional prompt customization can be done by editing this file. It has plenty of comments to help you navigate through configuration options. _FAQ_: - [What is the best prompt style in the configuration wizard?](#what-is-the-best-prompt-style-in-the-configuration-wizard) - [What do different symbols in Git status mean?](#what-do-different-symbols-in-git-status-mean) - [How do I change the format of Git status?](#how-do-i-change-the-format-of-git-status) - [How do I add username and/or hostname to prompt?](#how-do-i-add-username-and-or-hostname-to-prompt) - [How do I change prompt colors?](#how-do-i-change-prompt-colors) - [Why some prompt segments appear and disappear as I'm typing?](#why-some-prompt-segments-appear-and-disappear-as-im-typing) _Troubleshooting_: - [Question mark in prompt](#question-mark-in-prompt). - [Icons, glyphs or powerline symbols don't render](#icons-glyphs-or-powerline-symbols-don-39-t-render). - [Sub-pixel imperfections around powerline symbols](#sub-pixel-imperfections-around-powerline-symbols). - [Directory is difficult to see in prompt when using Rainbow style](#directory-is-difficult-to-see-in-prompt-when-using-rainbow-style). ## For Powerlevel9k users If you've been using Powerlevel9k before, **do not remove the configuration options**.
