Hello, this is my first post, my name’s Ivan, I’m from Italy and for now I’m following Git course.

In that course Mosh uses zsh shell, I think he configured shell with Oh My Zsh! and Powerlevel10k theme; on my iMac and on my Linux PCs I use Oh My Zsh! with Powerlevel10k theme too but my prompt is different, does anyone know how to configure it the same as that used by Mosh? In particular I would be interested in coloring the different parts that form a command, for example: _git_ in green, _commit -m_ in white, _“Remove unused code.”_ in yellow.  
And what’s font does he use?

What you are asking for is called syntax highlighting. To enable it, you need to install [https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting](https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting).

For anyone interested, I managed to get it close enough - I have uploaded my iTerm theme, fonts and powerlevel10k setup to Github: [https://github.com/magicdude4eva/dotfiles](https://github.com/magicdude4eva/dotfiles)
