zsh theme - agnoster

https://github.com/agnoster/agnoster-zsh-theme

font: Menlo (patched font) https://github.com/powerline/fonts/blob/master/Meslo%20Slashed/Meslo%20LG%20M%20Regular%20for%20Powerline.ttf

Open the downloaded font and press “Install Font”.

Set this font in iTerm2 (14px is my personal preference) (iTerm -> Preferences -> Profiles -> Text -> Change Font).

Restart iTerm2 for all changes to take effect.

Optionally set DEFAULT_USER to your regular username followed by prompt_context(){} in ~/.zshrc to hide the “user@hostname” info when you’re logged in as yourself on your local machine.
